[1] I've been away for [4] just a [1] year
And you've forgotten me my [5] dear
The judge said [1] I must [4] pay the [1] cost
I never [5] knew how much I'd [1] lost

Until they [4] sent me far [1] away
Where each minute seems a [5] day
But maybe [1] someday [4] I'll be [1] free
Will you be [5] waiting there for [1] me

I'm in this cell because of you
The crime I did you drove me too
My jealous heart just could not stand
To see you with another man

I hope someday that you will learn
And broken hearted you'll return
But listen darlin' please don't wait
For maybe then will be too late
