“Birmingham Jail”

Down in the valley
The valley so low
Hang your head over
Hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, love
Hear the wind blow
Hang your head over
And hear the wind blow

Send me no letters
Send me no bail
Just send my postcards
To the Birmingham jail

Roses are red love
Violets are blue
If you don’t love me
Then love who you'd please
Put your arms around me
And give my heart ease

Send me no letters
Send me no mail. . .
Just send my postcards
To the Birmingham jail

Go down to your lawyers
Come down to my cell
Post my release, love
To the Birmingham jail

Send no postcards
Now send no bail. . .
It's just how the wind blows
In the Birmingham jail. . .
