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

[00:00:00] I'm Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail - The Everly Brothers (艾佛利兄弟)

[00:00:04] "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

[00:00:19] "I'm not in your town to stay

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

[00:00:26] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:32] Oh warden

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

[00:00:41] "I tried to raise my baby right

[00:00:45] I have prayed both day and night

[00:00:49] That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad

[00:00:56] I have searched both far and wide

[00:01:00] And I feared that he had died

[00:01:03] But at last I've found my baby here in jail

[00:01:10] Oh warden

[00:01:12] At last I've found my baby here in jail"

[00:01:19] "It was just five years today

[00:01:22] When his daddy passed away

[00:01:26] He was found beneath the snow so cold and white

[00:01:33] T'was then I bowed to take his ring

[00:01:37] And his gold watch and his chain

[00:01:41] Then the county laid his daddy in the grave

[00:01:47] Yes warden

[00:01:49] The county laid his daddy in the grave"

[00:01:56] "I will pawn you his watch

[00:01:59] I will pawn you his chain

[00:02:03] I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring

[00:02:11] I will wash all your clothes

[00:02:14] I will scrub all your floors

[00:02:19] If that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:24] Yes warden

[00:02:26] If that will get my baby out of jail"

[00:02:33] Then I heard the warden say

[00:02:37] To the lady old and gray:

[00:02:40] "I'll go bring your darling baby to your side"

[00:02:47] Two iron gates swung wide apart

[00:02:51] She held her darling to her heart

[00:02:55] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:03:01] But smiling

[00:03:03] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:03:10] "I'm not in your town to stay "

[00:03:13] Said a lady old and gray

[00:03:17] "I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:03:23] Yes warden

[00:03:24] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
