Key: A major
Verse 1
Said the lady old and gray
D
G
To the warden of the penitentiary
I'm not in your town to stay
And I'll soon be on my way
D
G
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
C
D
Yes, Warden, I'm just here
I've tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
I have searched both far and wide
and I feared that he had died
D
G
But at last I found my baby here in jail
D
G
at last I found my baby here in jail
It was just five years today
when his daddy passed away
T 'was then I vowed to keep his ring
and his gold watch and his chain
C
D
Yes, warden, the kind that laid
Then I heard the warden say
to the lady, old and gray
Two iron gates one wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
G
G
and then she died you
