                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

"I'm not in your town to stay,"

Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
