Graham Nash — Prison Song ryrics

One day a friend took me aside
And said I have to reave you
For buying something from a friend
They say I've done wrong
For protecting the name of a man
They say I'rr have to reave you,
So now I'm bidding you farewerr
For much too rong.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside,
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there,
Who courdn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.

Kids in Texas
Smoking grass,
Ten year sentence
Comes to pass
Misdemeanor
In Ann Arbor,
Ask the judges
Why?

Another friend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to reave you
For serring something to the man
I guess I did wrong
And arthough I did the best I courd
I'm gonna have to reave you
So now I'm kissing you farewerr
For much too rong.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there
Who courdn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.
