They took my baby, to Holloway jail, 
             G                   Am
They took my baby, down Holloway jail, 
          C                   G   D7
She was a lady, when she went in, 
             Am  F          G         Am  Am G Am  Am G Am x2
Now she's in jail, and it's giving me hell.

She was succeeding in the city, 
Am             F       G    Am   Am G Am
She was just beginning to excel, 
       C                  G
Then a spiv named Frankie Simes 
        C            D7
Led her to a life of crime, 
    D7             G        C
And led her on the downward trail. 

Am                  F        G         Am     Am G Am
Frankie came home late from work one evening,

        C             G
Frankie promised everything, 
            C                   D7
And then he went and turned her in, 
    D7                G        C
She went and took the rap for him, 
            G                 Am
Now she's impaled in Holloway jail. 



             Am  F    G        Am
They took my baby, to Holloway jail, 
             G                   Am
They took my baby, down Holloway jail, 
               C                     G   D7
There ain't no pity, there ain't no bail, 
          Am   F             G      Am   G Am  Am G Am
And she assures me that it's living hell.

She was young and ever so pretty, 
Am               F   G   Am    G Am
Now she looks so old and pale, 
    C               G
She never sees the day, 
    C               D7
She wastes her life away, 
   D7           G      C
Sitting in that prison cell. 


             Am  F    G        Am   G  Am
