I've been away for just a year
Have you fortotten me my dear
The judge said I must pay the cost
I never knew how much I lost

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

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

* Refrain

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

* Refrain
