I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
I'm not in your town to stay[00:00:05]
Said a lady old and gray[00:00:07]
To the warden of the penitentiary[00:00:09]
I'm not in your town to stay[00:00:13]
And I'll soon be on my way[00:00:15]
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:00:18]
Yes warden[00:00:21]
You know I want my baby out of jail[00:00:23]
I tried to raise my baby right[00:00:27]
I have prayed both day and night[00:00:29]
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad[00:00:32]
I have searched both far and wide[00:00:36]
And I feared that he had died[00:00:38]
But at last I found my baby here in jail[00:00:40]
Yes warden[00:00:44]
You know it's good to find my baby here in jail[00:00:45]
It was five years today[00:00:50]
When my husband passed away[00:00:52]
He was found eath the snow so cold[00:00:54]
And white[00:00:57]
'Twas then I vowed to take his ring[00:00:58]
And his golden watch and his chain[00:01:01]
But the county laid my husband in the grave[00:01:03]
Yes warden[00:01:06]
The county laid my dearest papa in the grave[00:01:08]
I will pawn you my watch[00:01:26]
I will pawn you my ring[00:01:28]
I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring[00:01:30]
I will wash all your clothes[00:01:35]
I will scrub all your floors[00:01:37]
If that will get my baby out of jail[00:01:39]
Yes warden[00:01:43]
You know I want my baby out of jail[00:01:44]
Then I heard the warden say[00:01:49]
To the lady old and gray[00:01:51]
I will bring your darling baby to your side[00:01:53]
Two iron gates swung wide apart[00:01:57]
She held her darling to her heart[00:01:59]
She kissed her baby boy and then she died[00:02:01]
But smiling[00:02:04]
In the arms of her dear darling boy she died[00:02:07]
