Question

My dad always listened to 50s music and when I was little I heard a song about a woman writing letters to her boyfriend or husband in jail, does anyone know the song?

Answer 1

I'm certain that this song came later than the 50's, but an early Carly Simon song called "Waiting At the Gate" has a similar theme. You can read the lyrics at the below link.
