Holloway Jail (2022 Remaster) The Kinks

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
She was just succeeding in the city
She was just beginning to excel
And then a spiv named Frankie Simes
Led her to a life of crime
And led her on the downward trail

[Verse 2]
Frankie came home late from work one evening
The C.I.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

[Chorus 2]
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
