I'm Just Here to Get My Baby out of Jail |
| «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 the 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» |
