[00:05.80]I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray
[00:11.19]To the warden of the penitentiary
[00:16.41]I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way
[00:21.63]I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
[00:26.89]Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
[00:34.46]I tried to raise my baby right
[00:37.03]I have prayed both day and night
[00:39.63]That even never follow the footsteps of his dad
[00:45.13]I have searched both far and wide and
[00:47.95]I feared that he had died
[00:50.32]But at last I found my baby here in jail
[00:55.65]Yes warden but it's found my baby here in jail
[01:03.43]It was just five years today then smile has passed away
[01:08.60]He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
[01:13.78]Twas then I vowed to take his ring
[01:16.26]And his gold watch and his chain
[01:19.00]But the county laid my in the grave
[01:24.20]Yes warden the county laid my baby in the grave
[02:00.78]I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain
[02:06.12]I will pawn you my diamond ring
[02:11.44]I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors
[02:17.04]If that will get my baby out of jail
[02:21.99]Yes warden you know have won't my darling baby out of jail
[02:29.90]Then I heard the warden say to the lady old and gray
[02:35.17]I'll bring your baby boy to your side
[02:40.61]Two iron gates swing wide apart
[02:43.09]She held her darling to her heart
[02:46.14]She kissed her baby boy and then she died
[02:51.27]But smiling in your and her dear baby boy she died
