Johnny Cash – Im Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail (Guitar Live)

A
I'm not in your town to stay

       A
Said the 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
Yes warden,

         E                          A
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

        A
I tried to raise my baby right

      A
And I prayed both day and night

          E                                 A
That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad

        A
I had 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
Yes warden,

         E                          A
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

       A
I will pawn you my watch

       A
I will pawn you my chain

        E                         A
I will pawn you my golden wedding ring

       A
I will pawn you my...cook

            A
Forgot the words to that verse

   E                            A
If that will get my baby out of jail

     D
Yes warden,

         E                          A
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
