It dread inna jailhouse, it dread inna jailhouse
Innocent man deh a jailhouse

Innocent man deh a jailhouse
Innocent man can't get no bail
Some have to sleep on the cold concrete
While some have meditate on the vibes out a streets

Some cannot afford a barrister
Some cannot afford a lawyer
Dem ha fi get a legal aid
Dem ha fi get a legal aid

Innocent man deh a jailhouse
Innocent man can't get no bail
Dem ha fi get a legal aid
Dem ha fi get a legal aid, ohhh

Innocent man deh a jailhouse
Some have to peep through the rail
Some cannot get no bail
Innocent man deh a jailhouse, woy

Due to the runnings of the lawyer
Due to the runnings of the barrister
Due to the runnings of the judges
Some get a long sentence
A long, long sentence, ohh

Innocent man can't get no bail
Dem have to peep through the rail
Some have to peep through the rail

Innocent man can't get no bail
Innocent man deh a jailhouse

Innocent man, innocent man
