[Verse 1]
D D D "I'm not in your town to stay" said a lady old and gray A7 D to the warden of the penitentiary. D D "I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way, A7 D** I'm just here to get my baby out of jail. G** A7 D Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail".
[Verse 2]
D D "I tried to raise my baby right, I have prayed both day and night A7 D that he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad. D D I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died A7 D** but at last I've found my baby here in jail. G** A7 D Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail".
[Verse 3]
D D "It was just 5 years today when his daddy passed away, A7 D he was found beneath the snow so cold and white. D D 't Was then I vowed to take his ring and his goldwatch and his chain, A7 D** then the county laid his daddy in the grave. G** A7 D Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"
[Verse 4]
D D "I will pawn you his watch, I will pawn you his chain, A7 D I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring. D D I will wash all your clothes, I will scrub all your floors A7 D** if that will get my baby out of jail. G** A7 D Yes, warden, if that will get my baby out of jail".
[Verse 5]
D D Then I heard the warden say to the lady old and gray: A7 D "I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side". D D Two iron gates swang wide apart, she held her darlin' to her heart, A7 D** she kissed her baby boy and then she died. G** A7 D But, smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died.
[Ending]
D D "I'm not in your town to stay" said a lady old and gray, A7 D** I'm just here to get my baby out of jail. G** A7 D* Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
