| [00:07.69] | "I'm not in your town to stay,"“ |
| [00:12.27] | Said a lady old and gray |
| [00:16.81] | To the warden of the penitentiary |
| [00:24.79] | "I'm not in your town to stay“ |
| [00:29.30] | And I'll soon be on my way |
| [00:34.00] | I'm just here to get my baby out of jail |
| [00:40.50] | Oh warden, |
| [00:42.24] | I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" |
| [00:48.73] | |
| [00:49.97] | "I tried to raise my baby right“ |
| [00:54.53] | I have prayed both day and night |
| [00:58.90] | That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad |
| [01:07.13] | I have searched both far and wide |
| [01:11.75] | And I feared that he had died |
| [01:15.71] | But at last I've found my baby here in jail |
| [01:22.56] | Oh warden, |
| [01:24.56] | At last I've found my baby here in jail" |
| [01:30.66] | |
| [01:32.17] | "It was just five years today“ |
| [01:36.65] | When his daddy passed away |
| [01:40.93] | He was found beneath the snow so cold and white |
| [01:48.97] | It was then I bowed to take his ring |
| [01:53.30] | And his gold watch and his chain |
| [01:57.33] | When the county laid his daddy in the grave |
| [02:03.58] | Yes warden, |
| [02:05.79] | The county laid his daddy in the grave" |
| [02:12.10] | |
| [02:13.76] | "I will pawn you his watch“ |
| [02:17.99] | I will pawn you his chain |
| [02:22.27] | I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring |
| [02:30.87] | I will wash all your clothes |
| [02:35.14] | I will wash all your floors |
| [02:39.25] | If that will get my baby out of jail |
| [02:45.50] | Yes warden, |
| [02:47.37] | If that will get my baby out of jail" |
| [02:54.31] | |
| [02:55.64] | Then I heard the warden say |
| [03:00.70] | To the lady old and gray: |
| [03:04.94] | "I'll go bring your darling baby to your side"“ |
| [03:11.87] | Two iron gates swung wide apart |
| [03:16.23] | She held her darling to her heart |
| [03:21.60] | She kissed her baby boy and then she died |
| [03:26.87] | But smiling, |
| [03:29.39] | She kissed her baby boy and then she died |
| [03:35.48] | |
| [03:36.83] | "I'm not in your town to stay,"“ |
| [03:41.48] | Said a lady old and gray |
| [03:46.14] | "I'm just here to get my baby out of jail“ |
| [03:51.74] | Yes warden, |
| [03:54.13] | I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" |
| [00:07.69] | " I' m not in your town to stay,"" |
