They locked up her darlin' in Allentown jail
And no one has come to put up his bail
They say at the courthouse, he'll never go free, never go free
'Cause he stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to she
Somewhere in Allentown jail, her heart waits in Allentown jail

Oh, well, she'll dance for you, mister, she'll sing you a song
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong
But more than that, mister, would surely be wrong for can't you see?
Her love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to give, to give to she

You'll find none like him though you search the world 'round
And that's why you'll need the best lawyer in town
You must find a lawyer, the best one in town for can't you see?
Her love stole a diamond, a beautiful diamond to prove his love to she
Somewhere in Allentown jail, her heart waits in Allentown jail
Yeah, somewhere in Allentown jail
Somewhere in Allentown jail
Somewhere in Allentown jail
