Verse 2
"I tried to raise (D major) my baby right
I have prayed both day and night
That he wouldn't follow the
(G major) footsteps of his (D major) dad
I have searched both far and wide
and I feared that he had died
But at last I've found my
baby here in jail
Oh warden,
at last I've found my baby here in jail"
Verse 3
"It was just five years today (D major)
When his daddy passed away
He was found beneath the snow
so cold and white
'Twas then I vowed to take
his ring
and his gold watch and his chain
and the county laid his daddy in
the grave
Yes warden,
the county laid his daddy in the grave"
Verse 4
"I will pawn (D major) you his watch
I will pawn you his chain
I will pawn (A major) you my diamond wedding (D major) ring (G major) (D major)
I will wash all your clothes
I will scrub all your floors
If that will (A major) get my baby out of jail (D major)
Yes warden, (G major) if that (A major) will get my baby out of jail"

Then I heard (D major) the warden say
To the lady old and gray:
(A major) "I'll go bring your darlin' baby

2 iron gates swang wide apart
She held her darlin' to her heart
She kissed her baby boy
and then she died
But smiling, (A major) she kissed her baby
boy and then she died
