《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 - Helen Merrill (海伦·默林)

[00:00:08] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:00:12] Said a lady old and gray

[00:00:16] To the warden of the penitentiary

[00:00:23] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:00:27] And I'll soon be on my way

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

[00:00:37] Yes warden

[00:00:39] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:50] I tried to raise my baby right

[00:00:54] I have prayed both day and night

[00:00:58] That he never follow footsteps of his dad

[00:01:05] I have searched both far and wide

[00:01:09] I have feared that he had died

[00:01:13] But at last I've found my baby here in jail

[00:01:19] Yes warden

[00:01:21] At last it's good to found my baby here in jail

[00:01:32] It is just five years today

[00:01:36] Since my husband passed away

[00:01:40] He was found beneath the snow so cold so white

[00:01:47] T'was then I bowed to take his ring

[00:01:51] And his gold watch and his chain

[00:01:55] Then the county laid my husband in the grave

[00:02:01] Yes warden

[00:02:03] The county laid my hasband in the grave

[00:02:14] I will pawn you my watch

[00:02:18] I will pawn you my chain

[00:02:21] I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring

[00:02:29] I will wash all your clothes

[00:02:33] I will scrub all your floors

[00:02:37] If that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:43] Yes warden

[00:02:45] You know i want my darling out of jail

[00:02:56] Then we heard the warden say

[00:02:59] To the lady old and gray

[00:03:03] I'll bring your baby boy to your side

[00:03:11] Two iron gates swung wide apart

[00:03:16] She held her darling to her heart

[00:03:23] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:03:32] But smiling

[00:03:35] In the aim of her dear boy there she died

[00:03:44] I'm not in your town to stay

[00:03:48] Said a lady old and gray

[00:03:52] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:03:58] Yes warden

[00:04:02] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
