D
Well, have you seen my dark-haired girl?
D
She was set on her love to a hungry world
D
They got her clothes and the money she took
D
And they wrote her name in the prison book
[Chorus]
E A G
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my dark-haired girl?
E A
She's tired and cold and you got the gold
G
She took from a hungry world
E A G D
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my dark-haired girl?
[Verse 2]
D
Well, have you seen my green-eyed son?
D
He shot a man down with a sawed off gun
D
And they found him down by the Pontchartrain
D
Where they cuffed his hands with a big iron chain
[Chorus]
E A G
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my green-eyed son?
E A
I heard him say as they led him away
G
Sorry for what he's done
E A G D
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my green-eyed son?
[Verse 3]
D
Well, have you missed my brother man?
D
He took a little money with a gun in his hand
D
Now the kids are hungry and the wife ain't well
D
And the daddy's locked up in a prison cell
[Chorus]
E A G
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my brother man?
E A
I know it's sad but he ain't bad
G
He's doing the best he can
E A G D
Orleans Parish Prison won't you free my brother man?
E A G
Orleans Parish Prison i miss my green-eyed son
E A
I love my dark-haired girl
G
I need my brother man
E A G D
Orleans Parish Prison i wish you'd free them if you can
