Prisoners: Look down, look down
P: Don't look 'em in the eye
P: Look down, look down,
P: You're here until you die
P: The sun is strong
P: It's hot as hell below
P: Look down, look down,
P: There's twenty years to go
P: I've done no wrong!
P: Sweet Jesus hear my prayer!
P: Look down, look down,
P: Sweet Jesus doesn't care
P: I know she'll wait,
P: I know that she'll be true!
P: Look down, look down,
P: They've all forgotten you
P: When I get free, ya won't see me
P: Here for dust!
P: Look down, look down
P: Don't look 'em in the eye
P: How long O Lord
P: Before you let me die?
P: Look down, look down,
P: You'll always be a slave
P: Look down, look down,
P: You're standing in your grave
Javert: Now bring me prisoner 24601
J: Your time is up
J: And your parole's begun
J: You know what that means
Valjean: Yes, it means I'm free
J: NO!
J: It means you get
J: Your yellow ticket-of-leave
J: You are a thief
V: I stole a loaf of bread!
J: You robbed a house!
V: I broke a window pane!
V: My sister's child was close to death
V: And we were starving!
J: And you will starve again
J: Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
V: I know the meaning of those 19 years
V: A slave of the law
J: Five years for what you did
J: The rest because you tried to run
J: Yes 24601
V: My name is Jean Valjean
J: And I'm Javert
J: Do not forget my name
J: Do not forget me
J: 24601
P: Don't look 'em in the eye
P: Look down, look down,
P: You're here until you die
P: The sun is strong
P: It's hot as hell below
P: Look down, look down,
P: There's twenty years to go
P: I've done no wrong!
P: Sweet Jesus hear my prayer!
P: Look down, look down,
P: Sweet Jesus doesn't care
P: I know she'll wait,
P: I know that she'll be true!
P: Look down, look down,
P: They've all forgotten you
P: When I get free, ya won't see me
P: Here for dust!
P: Look down, look down
P: Don't look 'em in the eye
P: How long O Lord
P: Before you let me die?
P: Look down, look down,
P: You'll always be a slave
P: Look down, look down,
