Lyrics
They took my baby, to holloway jail They took my baby, down holloway jail She was a lady, when she went in Now she's in jail, and it's giving me hell
She was just succeeding in the city She was just beginning to excel Then a spiv named frankie simes Led her to a life of crime And led her on the downward trail
Frankie came home late from work one evening The c.l.d. were hot on his trail Frankie promised everything And then he went and turned her in She went and took the rap for him Now she's impaled in holloway jail
They took my baby, down holloway jail They took my baby, to holloway jail There ain't no pity, there ain't no bail And she assures me that it's living hell
She was young and ever so pretty Now she looks so old and pale She never sees the day She wastes her life away Sitting in that prison cell
They took my baby to holloway jail They locked my baby, in holloway jail She was a lady when she went in Now she's in jail, and it's giving me hell
She's impaled, in holloway jail
