Down in the valley, in the valley so low
Put your head out the window and hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, hear the wind blow
Put your head out the window and hear the wind blow
The judge, he will sentence you, clerk will write it down
Tell all your friends that you're jailhouse bound
Jailhouse bound, you're jailhouse bound
Tell all your friends that you're jailhouse bound
Write me a letter, send it by mail
Address it all over that Birmingham Jail
That Birmingham Jail, that Birmingham Jail
Address it all over that Birmingham Jail
The roses is red, and the violets are blue
Angels in the Heaven singing, "I love you"
