Jailbirds Can’t Fly versuri

Versuri Curly Putman – Jailbirds Can't Fly lyrics

Oh, what I’d give to be with my Marie
To hold her close and walk again through meadows green
To see again the tender love light shining from her eyes
To walk among the ones I love that jailbirds can’t find

Oh, what I’d give to see my old dad and mom
It seems that I can hear them saying
„Hurry home, my son”
I can feel the soft lips of my Marie
As we kiss goodbye
And I long to fly straight to her arms
But jailbirds can’t fly

No, it can’t be
No, not for me
These walls are too high
And jailbirds can’t fly

Tomorrow when dawn comes
And they set me in that chair
Soon I’ll be with my Marie, but I’ll no longer care
Then they’ll place me on that big silver plane
That sails the homeward skies
But from the walls of that pine box
Jailbirds can’t fly

No, it can’t be
No, not for me
These walls are too high
And jailbirds can’t fly
