[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.
