I'm not in your town to stay

Cry a lady old and grey

To the warden of a penitentiary

I'm not in your town to stay

And I'll soon be on my way

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

Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

Tried to raise my baby right

I have prayed both day and night

That he'd never follow the footsteps of his Dad

I have searched both far and wide

I had feared that he had died

And at last I found my baby here in jail

Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you my gold wedding ring

I will pawn my- forgot the words to that verse

If that will get my baby out of jail

Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
