I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail - Helen Merrill (海伦·默林)[00:00:00]
I'm not in your town to stay[00:00:08]
Said a lady old and gray[00:00:12]
To the warden of the penitentiary[00:00:16]
I'm not in your town to stay[00:00:23]
And I'll soon be on my way[00:00:27]
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:00:31]
Yes warden[00:00:37]
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:00:39]
I tried to raise my baby right[00:00:50]
I have prayed both day and night[00:00:54]
That he never follow footsteps of his dad[00:00:58]
I have searched both far and wide[00:01:05]
I have feared that he had died[00:01:09]
But at last I've found my baby here in jail[00:01:13]
Yes warden[00:01:19]
At last it's good to found my baby here in jail[00:01:21]
It is just five years today[00:01:32]
Since my husband passed away[00:01:36]
He was found beneath the snow so cold so white[00:01:40]
T'was then I bowed to take his ring[00:01:47]
And his gold watch and his chain[00:01:51]
Then the county laid my husband in the grave[00:01:55]
Yes warden[00:02:01]
The county laid my hasband in the grave[00:02:03]
I will pawn you my watch[00:02:14]
I will pawn you my chain[00:02:18]
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring[00:02:21]
I will wash all your clothes[00:02:29]
I will scrub all your floors[00:02:33]
If that will get my baby out of jail[00:02:37]
Yes warden[00:02:43]
You know i want my darling out of jail[00:02:45]
Then we heard the warden say[00:02:56]
To the lady old and gray[00:02:59]
I'll bring your baby boy to your side[00:03:03]
Two iron gates swung wide apart[00:03:11]
She held her darling to her heart[00:03:16]
She kissed her baby boy and then she died[00:03:23]
But smiling[00:03:32]
In the aim of her dear boy there she died[00:03:35]
I'm not in your town to stay[00:03:44]
Said a lady old and gray[00:03:48]
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:03:52]
Yes warden[00:03:58]
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:04:02]
