| «I'm not in your town to stay,»
|
| said a lady old and gray
|
| to the warden of the penitentiary
|
| «I'm not in your town to stay
|
| And I’ll soon be on my way
|
| I’m just here to get my baby out of jail
|
| Oh warden, I’m just here to get my baby out of jail»
|
| «I tried to raise my baby right
|
| I have prayed both day and night
|
| That he wouldn’t follow footsteps of his dad
|
| I have searched both far and wide
|
| And I feared that he had died
|
| But at last I’ve found my baby here in jail
|
| Oh warden, at last I’ve found my baby here in jail»
|
| «It was just five years today
|
| When his daddy passed away
|
| He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
|
| T’was then I bowed to take his ring
|
| And his gold watch and his chain
|
| Then the county laid his daddy in the grave
|
| Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave»
|
| «I will pawn you his watch
|
| I will pawn you his chain
|
| I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
|
| I will wash all your clothes
|
| I will scrub all your floors
|
| If that will get my baby out of jail
|
| Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail»
|
| Then I heard the warden say
|
| to the lady old and gray:
|
| «I'll go bring your darling baby to your side»
|
| Two iron gates swung wide apart
|
| She held her darling to her heart
|
| She kissed her baby boy and then she died
|
| But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died
|
| «I'm not in your town to stay,»
|
| said a lady old and gray
|
| «I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
|
| Yes warden, I’m just here to get my baby out of jail» |
