| [00:00.180] |
"I'm not in your town to stay" |
| [00:03.620] |
Said a lady old and gray |
| [00:05.550] |
|
| [00:06.680] |
To the warden of the penitentiary |
| [00:09.300] |
|
| [00:13.300] |
"I'm not in your town to stay |
| [00:15.590] |
|
| [00:16.840] |
And I'll soon be on my way |
| [00:19.040] |
|
| [00:20.460] |
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail |
| [00:24.650] |
|
| [00:26.140] |
Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" |
| [00:32.570] |
|
| [00:36.330] |
"I tried to raise my baby right |
| [00:38.890] |
|
| [00:40.140] |
I have prayed both day and night |
| [00:42.380] |
|
| [00:43.750] |
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad" |
| [00:47.250] |
|
| [00:49.930] |
"I have searched both far and wide |
| [00:52.180] |
|
| [00:53.860] |
And I feared that he had died |
| [00:55.860] |
|
| [00:57.420] |
But at last I've found my baby here in jail |
| [01:02.220] |
|
| [01:03.530] |
Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail" |
| [01:10.520] |
|
| [01:23.010] |
"It was just 5 years today |
| [01:25.310] |
|
| [01:26.380] |
When his daddy passed away |
| [01:28.190] |
|
| [01:29.490] |
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white" |
| [01:33.620] |
|
| [01:35.360] |
"'Twas then I vowed to take his ring |
| [01:38.110] |
|
| [01:38.920] |
And his gold watch and his chain |
| [01:41.620] |
|
| [01:42.360] |
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave |
| [01:46.170] |
|
| [01:47.230] |
Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave" |
| [01:52.840] |
|
| [01:58.780] |
"I will pawn you his watch |
| [02:01.830] |
I will pawn you his chain |
| [02:04.330] |
|
| [02:05.200] |
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring" |
| [02:09.500] |
|
| [02:11.940] |
"I will wash all your clothes |
| [02:14.940] |
I will scrub all your floors |
| [02:17.620] |
|
| [02:18.310] |
If that will get my baby out of jail |
| [02:22.800] |
|
| [02:23.740] |
Yes, warden, if that will get my baby out of jail" |
| [02:29.480] |
|
| [02:34.840] |
Then I heard the warden say |
| [02:37.280] |
|
| [02:37.960] |
To the lady old and gray |
| [02:40.580] |
|
| [02:41.450] |
"I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side" |
| [02:45.760] |
|
| [02:47.390] |
Two iron gates swang wide apart |
| [02:50.130] |
|
| [02:50.750] |
She held her darlin' to her heart |
| [02:53.380] |
|
| [02:54.120] |
She kissed her baby boy and then she died |
| [02:58.310] |
|
| [02:59.420] |
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died |
| [03:04.980] |
|
| [03:49.110] |
"I'm not in your town to stay" |
| [03:52.480] |
|
| [03:53.100] |
Said a lady old and gray |
| [03:55.600] |
|
| [03:56.660] |
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail |
| [04:01.520] |
|
| [04:02.970] |
Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" |
| [04:11.570] |
|
