Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) "I'm not
in your town to stay,"
Said a lady old & gray
To the (G major) warden of the peniten (C major) tiary
"I'm not in your town to stay
And I'll soon be on my way

Oh (F major) warden, I'm just here (G major) to
get my baby out of (C major) jail"
Verse 2
"I tried to raise my baby (C major) right
I have prayed both day & night
That he (G major) wouldn't follow
the footsteps of his (C major) dad
I have searched both far & wide
& I feared that he had died
But at (G major) last I've found my baby here in (C major) jail
Oh (F major) warden,
(G major) at last I've found my baby here in (C major) jail"

Verse 3
"It was just 5 years today (C major)
When his daddy passed away
He was (G major) found beneath the
snow so cold (C major) & white
'Twas then I vowed
to take his ring
And his gold watch & his chain
And the (G major) county laid his daddy in the (C major) grave
Yes (F major) warden, the county (G major) laid his daddy in the
(C major) grave"

(G major)
Verse 4
(C major)
"I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will (G major) pawn you my diamond wedding (C major) ring
I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If (G major) that will get my baby out of (C major) jail
Yes (F major) warden,
if that will (G major) get my baby out of (C major) jail"
Verse 5
Then I (C major) heard the warden say
To the lady old & gray:
"I'll go (G major) bring your darlin'
baby to your (C major) side"
Two iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She (G major) kissed her baby boy & then she (C major) died
But (F major) smiling, she kissed her baby
boy & then she died
"I'm not in (G major) your town to stay," Said
Verse 6
a lady old & gray
"I'm just here (C major) to get my baby out
of jail
Yes warden, I'm
just here to get my baby out of jail"
I'm Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail
