Do you hear the tapping
On the bars and prison ring through
Sounding like a concert?
For who?

Hear my song of pleading, sing
On the bars that hold me, Sing Sing
Beggin' to forgive me
My love

And two thousand inmates sing
Bang the bars that caged them, Singsing
Answering my chorus
So long

Bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Bye, baby, bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Bye, bye, bye, Barbara
So long, sing, sing, adieu

At the break of daylight
They'll be down to get me, let's go
It will all be over
I know

But two thousand inmates sing
Symphony for love, so sing, sing
Bang the bars that caged them
So long

Bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Ne pleure pas, bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Sing, sing, sing, Barbara
Je t'aime, je t'aime, adieu

Your eyes, your lips, your hair, your face
Gone!

Bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Ne pleure pas, bye, bye, bye, Barbara
Sing, sing, sing, Barbara
Je t'aime, je t'aime, adieu
