[00:21.56]Well, have you seen my darkhaired girl?
[00:25.99]She was set on her love to a hungry world
[00:30.43]They took her clothes and the money she took
[00:35.38]And they wrote her name in the prison books
[00:40.43]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free my darkhaired girl?
[00:44.98]She’s tired and cold and you got the gold
[00:47.26]She took from a hungry world
[00:49.94]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free my darkhaired girl?
[01:00.78]Well have seen my green eyed son?
[01:05.27]He shot a man down with a sawed off gun
[01:09.96]And they fond him down by the Pontchartrain
[01:14.47]Where they cuffed his arms with a big iron chain
[01:19.26]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free me green eyed son?
[01:24.15]I heard him say as you let him away
[01:26.66]Sorry for what he’s done
[01:29.62]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free me green eyed son?
[01:39.99]Well have you missed my brother man?
[01:45.03]He took a little money with a gun in his hand
[01:48.96]Know the kids are hungry and the wife ain’t well
[01:53.65]And my brother’s locked up in a prison cell
[01:59.69]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free my brother man?
[02:03.83]I know it’s sad but he ain’t bad
[02:06.62]He’s doing the best he can
[02:09.04]Orleans Parish Prison won’t you free my brother man?
[02:15.01]Orleans Parish Prison, I miss my green eyed son
[02:19.08]I love my dark-haired girl
[02:21.37]I need my brother man
[02:24.43]Orleans Parish Prison, I wish you’d free them if you can
[02:52.24]I wrote a song about a young man
[02:56.03]A true story, the song is a true story
[02:58.31]About a man that was arrested for possession of marijuana in the state of Virginia
[03:04.49]Called Jacob Greene, about a boy named Jacob Greene
