I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail chords by Miki & Griff
Verse 1
G
I'm not in your town to stay
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
G
to get my baby out of jail
I've tried to raise my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
D
That he wouldn't follow
G
the footsteps of his dad
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
C
Yes, Warden,
D
G
at last I found my baby here in jail
It was just five years today
when his daddy passed away
D
He was found beneath the snow
G
so cold and white
T 'was then I vowed to keep his ring
and his gold watch and his chain
D
Then the county laid his
G
daddy in the grave
C
D
Yes, warden, the kind that laid
G
his gavet in the grave
Then I heard the warden say
to the lady, old and gray
D
I'll go bring your darlin',
G
baby, to your side
Two iron gates one wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
D
She kissed her baby boy
G
and then she died
C
But smilin'
G
She kissed her baby boy
G
G
and then she died you
