G

Verse 1
C
I'm not in your town to stay
Said a lady old and gray
G
To the warden of a penitentiary
C
I'm not in your town to stay,
and I'll soon be on my way
G
C
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
F
Yes, warden, you know
G
C
I want my baby out of jail
I've tried to raise my baby right
I prayed both day and night
G
C
That he'd never follow footsteps of his dad
I have searched both far and wide
I had fear that he had died
G
So it's good to find my
C
baby here in jail
F
Yes, warden,
G
C
I'm here to get my baby out of jail
It's been ten long years today
since my husband passed away
G
He was found beneath the snow
C
so cold and white
I made a vow to keep his chain,
his gold watch and diamond ring
G
Oh, the county laid my
C
husband in the ground
F
G
Yes, warden, the county
C
laid my husband in the ground
I will pawn to you his watch,
I will pawn to you his chain
G
I will pawn to you my
C
husband's diamond ring
I will wash all your clothes
or I'll scrub all your floors
G
C
If that would get my baby out of jail
F
Yes, warden, you know
G
C
I want my baby out of jail
Then we heard the warden say
to this lady old and gray
G
C
I will bring your darlin' boy to your side
Two iron gates swung wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
G
C
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
F
G
But smilin' in the arms of her baby boy
C
She died.
