I do not claim any of the contents of this video. Please do not delete it. I just could not find this beautiful song in its original version anywhere in YouTube and I thought I should share it.

Do not flame about the video, it sucks. Just some random wallpapers that I have in my PC.

I spent around 2 and a half minutes to create this video and like 3 minutes to upload it, so I will not claim artistic prizes and stuff. Just enjoy the music.

Lyrics:
One day a friend took me aside
And said I have to leave you
For buying something from a friend
They say I've done wrong
For protecting the name of a man
They say I'll have to leave you,
So now I'm bidding you farewell
For much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside,
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there,
Who couldn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.

Kids in Texas
Smoking grass,
Ten year sentence
Comes to pass
Misdemeanor
In Ann Arbor,
Ask the judges
Why?

Another friend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to leave you
For selling something to the man
I guess I did wrong
And although I did the best I could
I'm gonna have to leave you
So now I'm kissing you farewell
For much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
For every man inside
If he can hear you sing
It's an open door.
There's not a rich man there
Who couldn't pay his way
And buy the freedom that's a high price
For the poor.

  • what's this language ??????? Russia

  • @dremman1 no it's Greek. Sorry for that but a lot of Greeks have visited this video since there are a lot of remakes of the song in Greek.
