1
I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray
2
To the warden of the penitentiary
3
I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way
4
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
5
(Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail)
6
I tried to raise him right and I prayed both day and night
7
That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad
8
I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died
9
Now at last I found my baby here in jail
10
(Yes warden at last I found my baby here in jail)
11
It was just five years today since my husband passed away
12
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
13
Made a vow to keep his ring his golden watch and his chain
14
But the county laid my husband in the ground
15
(Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground)

I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain
21
I will pawn you my golden diamond ring
22
I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors
23
If that will get my baby out of jail
24
(Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail)
25
Then we heard the warden say to that lady old and gray
26
I will bring your baby boy to your side
27
Two big iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart
28
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
29
(Yes smiling in the arms of her darling boy she died)
