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.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
