1
I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray
2
To the warden of a penitentiary
3
I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way
4
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
5
Yes warden you know I want my baby out of jail
6
I've tried to raise baby right I prayed both day and night
7
That he'd never follow footsteps of his dad
8
I have searched both far and wide I had feared that he had died
9
So it's good to find my baby here in jail
10
Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
11
It's been ten long years today since my husband passed away
12
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
13
I made a vow to keep his chain his gold watch and diamond ring
14
Oh the county laid my husband in the ground
15
Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground
16
I will pawn to you his watch I will pawn to you his chain
17
I will pawn to you my husband's diamond ring
18
I will wash all your clothes or I'll scrub all your floors
19
If that would get my baby out of jail
20
Yes warden you know I want my baby out of jail
21
Then we heard the warden say to this lady so old and gray
22
I will bring your darling boy to your side
23
Two iron gates swung wide apart she held her darling to her heart
24
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
25
But smiling in the arms of her baby boy she died
