mac wiseman - i'm just here to get my baby out of jail lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’m not in your town to stay
said a lady old and gray
to the warden of the penitentiary
i’m not in your town to stay
and i’ll soon be on my way
i’m just here to get my baby out of jail

[chorus]
yes, warden
i’m just here to get my baby out of jail

[verse 2]
i tried to raise my baby right
i have prayed both day and night
that he’d never follow the footsteps of his dad
i have searched both far and wide
i had feared that he had died
and at last i find my baby here in jail

[chorus]
yes, warden
it’s so good to find my baby here in jail

[verse 3]
it’s just five years today
since my husband passed away
he was found beneath the snow so cold, so white
i made a vow to keep his ring
his gold watch and his chain
but the county laid my husband in the ground
[chorus]
yes, warden
the county laid my baby’s papa in the ground

[verse 4]
i will p+wn you my watch
i will p+wn you my chain
i will p+wn you my gold diamond ring
i will wash all your clothes
i will scrub all your floors
if that will get my baby out of jail

[chorus]
yes, warden
you know i want my darlin’ baby out of jail

[verse 5]
then i heard the warden say
to this lady old and gray
i will bring your baby boy to your side
two iron gates swung wide apart
she held her darling to her heart
she kissed her baby boy and then she died

[chorus]
but smiling
in the arms of her dear boy, there she died
