[00:06.52] "I'm not in your town to stay,"“
[00:09.93] Said a lady old and gray
[00:13.24] To the warden of the penitentiary
[00:19.31] "I'm not in your town to stay“
[00:22.69] And I'll soon be on my way
[00:26.04] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
[00:30.60] Yes warden,
[00:33.80] I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
[00:38.95]
[00:39.72] "I've tried to raise my baby right“
[00:43.64] I have prayed both day and night
[00:46.73] That he never follow footsteps of his dad
[00:52.58] I have searched both far and wide
[00:56.37] I have feared that he had died
[00:59.62] And at last I found my baby here in jail
[01:04.86] Yes warden,
[01:07.30] But it's good to found my baby here in jail"
[01:12.61]
[01:34.70] "I will pawn you my watch“
[01:37.80] I will pawn you my chain
[01:41.24] I will pawn you my diamond ring
[01:47.54] I will wash all your clothes
[01:51.00] I will scrub all your floors
[01:54.49] If that will get my baby out of jail
[01:58.90] Yes warden,
[02:01.93] You know I want my darling out of jail"
[02:07.43]
[02:08.20] Then we heard the warden say
[02:11.82] To the lady old and gray:
[02:15.24] "I'll bring your baby boy to your side"“
[02:21.60] Two iron gates swung wide apart
[02:24.67] She held her darling to her heart
[02:28.22] She kissed her baby boy and then she died
[02:32.93] But smiling,
[02:35.40] In the arms of her dear boy there she died
[02:43.19] In the arms of her dear boy there she died
[00:06.52] " I' m not in your town to stay,""
[00:09.93] Said a lady old and gray
[00:13.24] To the warden of the penitentiary
[00:19.31] " I' m not in your town to stay"
[00:22.69] And I' ll soon be on my way
[00:26.04] I' m just here to get my baby out of jail
[00:30.60] Yes warden,
[00:33.80] I' m just here to get my baby out of jail"
