[00:00:01] I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail - Claude King

[00:00:04] Written by：R. Carter

[00:00:11] I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray

[00:00:17] To the warden of the penitentiary

[00:00:23] I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way

[00:00:28] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:34] Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:43] I tried to raise him right and I prayed both day and night

[00:00:48] That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad

[00:00:54] I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died

[00:01:00] Now at last I found my baby here in jail

[00:01:06] Yes warden at last I found my baby here in jail

[00:01:14] It was just five years today since my husband passed away

[00:01:20] He was found beneath the snow so cold and white

[00:01:26] Made a vow to keep his ring his golden watch and his chain

[00:01:31] But the county laid my husband in the ground

[00:01:37] Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground

[00:01:57] I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain

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

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

[00:02:14] If that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:19] Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:28] Then we heard the warden say to that lady old and gray

[00:02:34] I will bring your baby boy to your side

[00:02:39] Two iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart

[00:02:45] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:02:51] Yes smiling in the arms of her darling boy she died
