| [00:00.89] |
I'm not in your town to stay |
| [00:06.28] |
Said a lady old and gray |
| [00:10.59] |
To the warden of the penitentiary |
| [00:16.67] |
I'm not in your town to stay |
| [00:21.78] |
And I'll soon be on my way |
| [00:26.11] |
I'm just here to get |
| [00:28.49] |
My baby out of jail |
| [00:31.82] |
Oh, warden, I'm just here |
| [00:34.73] |
To get my baby out of jail |
| [00:39.83] |
I tried to raise my baby right |
| [00:44.66] |
I have prayed both day and night |
| [00:48.44] |
That he wouldn't follow |
| [00:51.51] |
The footsteps of his dad |
| [00:55.27] |
I have searched both far and wide |
| [00:59.61] |
And I feared that he had died |
| [01:03.67] |
But at last I've found |
| [01:06.08] |
My baby here in jail |
| [01:09.61] |
Oh, warden, at last |
| [01:13.00] |
I've found my baby here in jail |
| [01:17.83] |
It was just five years today |
| [01:22.52] |
When his daddy passed away |
| [01:25.91] |
He was found beneath |
| [01:28.83] |
The snow, so cold and white |
| [01:33.28] |
Twas then I vowed to take his ring |
| [01:36.82] |
And his gold watch and his chain |
| [01:40.81] |
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave |
| [01:46.72] |
Yes, warden, the county laid |
| [01:50.97] |
His daddy in the grave |
| [01:54.27] |
I will pawn you his watch |
| [01:59.48] |
I will pawn you his chain |
| [02:03.14] |
I will pawn you my |
| [02:06.20] |
Diamond wedding ring |
| [02:09.78] |
I will wash all your clothes |
| [02:14.92] |
I will scrub all your floors |
| [02:18.72] |
If that will get my baby out of jail |
| [02:24.74] |
Yes, warden, if that will |
| [02:28.01] |
Get my baby out of jail |
| [02:32.87] |
Then I heard the warden say |
| [02:37.28] |
To the lady old and gray |
| [02:41.07] |
I'll go bring your |
| [02:43.08] |
Darling baby to your side |
| [02:47.88] |
Two iron gates swang wide apart |
| [02:51.95] |
She held her darling to her heart |
| [02:55.64] |
She kissed her baby boy and then she died |
| [03:01.24] |
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy |
| [03:05.85] |
And then she died |
| [03:10.26] |
I'm not in your town to stay |
| [03:14.13] |
Said a lady old and gray |
| [03:17.72] |
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail |
| [03:23.44] |
Yes, warden, I'm just here |
| [03:26.64] |
To get my baby out of jail.. |
| [03:30.50] |
