I'm Here to Get My Baby out of Jail.Wav |
«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» |
