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

[00:00:14] I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray

[00:00:20] To the warden of the penitentiary

[00:00:26] I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way

[00:00:32] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:38] Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

[00:00:47] I tried to raise him right and I prayed both day and night

[00:00:52] That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad

[00:00:58] I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died

[00:01:03] Now at last I found my baby here in jail

[00:01:09] Yes warden at last I found my baby here in jail

[00:01:18] It was just five years today since my husband passed away

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

[00:01:29] Made a vow to keep his ring his golden watch and his chain

[00:01:35] But the county laid my husband in the ground

[00:01:41] Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground

[00:02:01] I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain

[00:02:06] I will pawn you my golden diamond ring

[00:02:12] I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors

[00:02:18] If that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:24] Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail

[00:02:32] Then we heard the warden say to that lady old and gray

[00:02:38] I will bring your baby boy to your side

[00:02:43] Two big iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart

[00:02:49] She kissed her baby boy and then she died

[00:02:55] Yes smiling in the arms of her darling boy she died
