"I'm not in your town to stay,"
2
Said a lady old and gray
3
To the warden of the penitentiary
4
"I'm not in your town to stay
5
And I'll soon be on my way
6
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
7
Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail."
8
"I tried to raise my baby right
9
I have prayed both day and night
10
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad
11
I have searched both far and wide
12
And I feared that he had died
13
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
14
Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail."
15
"It was just five years today
16
When his daddy passed away
17
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
18
'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
19
And his gold watch, and his chain
20
And the county laid his daddy in the grave
21
Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave."
22
"I will pawn you his watch
23
I will pawn you his chain
24
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
25
I will wash all your clothes
26
I will scrub all your floors
27
If that will get my baby out of jail
28
Yes, warden, if that will get my baby out of jail."
29
Then I heard the warden say
30
To the lady old and gray
31
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side."
32
Two iron gates swang wide apart
33
She held her darlin' to her heart
34
She kissed her baby boy, and then she died
35
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy, and then she died
36
"I'm not in your town to stay,"
37
Said a lady old and gray
38
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
39
Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail."
