《I’m Here to Get My Baby out of Jail》歌词

[00:00:03] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:00:07] Said a lady old and gray

[00:00:11] To the warden of the penitentiary

[00:00:18] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:00:22] And I'll soon be on my way

[00:00:25] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:31] Oh warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:39] I tried to raise my baby right

[00:00:44] I have prayed both day and night

[00:00:47] That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad

[00:00:55] I have searched both far and wide

[00:00:58] And I feared that he had died

[00:01:02] But at last I've found my baby here in jail

[00:01:08] Oh warden at last I've found my baby here in jail

[00:01:17] It was just five years today

[00:01:20] When his daddy passed away

[00:01:24] He was found beneath the snow so cold and white

[00:01:31] 'Twas then I vowed to take his ring

[00:01:35] And his gold watch and his chain

[00:01:39] And the county laid his daddy in the grave

[00:01:44] Yes warden the county laid his daddy in the grave

[00:01:53] I will pawn you his watch

[00:01:57] I will pawn you his chain

[00:02:00] I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring

[00:02:08] I will wash all your clothes

[00:02:11] I will scrub all your floors

[00:02:15] If that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:21] Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:29] Then I heard the warden say

[00:02:33] To the lady old and gray

[00:02:37] I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side

[00:02:44] Two iron gates swang wide apart

[00:02:48] She held her darlin' to her heart

[00:02:51] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:02:57] But smiling she kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:03:05] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:03:09] Said a lady old and gray

[00:03:13] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:03:18] Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
