I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail

	  		


         A 
"I'm not in your town to stay," 
       A 
said a lady old and gray 
       E                       A 
to the warden of the penitentiary 
         A 
"I'm not in your town to stay 
         A 
And I'll soon be on my way 
    E                               A 
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail 
   D                E                           A 
Oh warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail" 

            A 
"I tried to raise my baby right 
       A 
I have prayed both day and night 
        E                                A 
That he wouldn't follow footsteps of his dad 
       A 
I have searched both far and wide 
      A 
And I feared that he had died 
       E                                A 
But at last I've found my baby here in jail 
   D          E                               A 
Oh warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail" 

A 

        A 
"It was just five years today 
         A 
When his daddy passed away 
       E                                  A 
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white 
             A 
T’was then I bowed to take his ring 
        A 
And his gold watch and his chain 
         E                            A 
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave 
    D           E                            A 
Yes warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave" 

        A 
"I will pawn you his watch 
       A 
I will pawn you his chain 
       E                           A 
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring 
       A 
I will wash all your clothes 
       A 
I will scrub all your floors 
   E                            A 
If that will get my baby out of jail 
    D          E                            A 
Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail" 

       A 
Then I heard the warden say 
       A 
to the lady old and gray: 
         E                               A 
"I'll go bring your darling baby to your side" 
         A 
Two iron gates swung wide apart 
             A  
She held her darling to her heart 
    E                                A 
She kissed her baby boy and then she died 
    D            E                                A 
But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died 

A E A 

A E A 

D E A 

         A 
"I'm not in your town to stay," 
       A 
said a lady old and gray 
          E                          A 
"I'm just here to get my baby out of jail 
    D                E                          A 
Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
