[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
