Johnny Cash – Orleans Parish Prison (Guitar)

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

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?

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

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?

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

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
