Well, have you seenMy darkhaired girl?She was set on her loveTo a hungry worldThey got her clothesAn the money she tookAnd they wrote her nameIn the prison booksOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you freeMy darkhaired girl?She's tired and coldAnd you got the goldShe tookFrom a hungry worldOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you freeMy darkhaired girl?Well have seenMy green eyed son?He shot a man downWith a sawed off gunAnd they fond him downBy the PontchartrainWhere they cuffed his armsWith a big iron chainOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you free meGreen eyed son?I heard him sayAs you let him awaySorry for what he's doneOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you free meGreen eyed son?Well have you missedMy brother man?He took a little moneyWith a gun in his handKnow the kids are hungryAnd the wife ain't wellAnd the daddy's locked upIn a prison cellOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you freeMy brother man?I know it's sadBut he ain't badHe's doing the best he canOrleans Parish PrisonWon't you freeMy brother man?
