I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail Lyrics - Marty Robbins

I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray 

To the warden of the penitentary 

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) 

You know I want my baby out of jail 

I've tried to raise my baby rightI I have prayed both day and night 

That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his Dad 

I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died 

But at last I found my baby here in jail 

(Yes warden) 

You know it's good to find my baby here in jail 

It was five years today when my husband passed away 

He was found beneath the snow so cold and white 

T'was then I vowed to take his ring, his gold watch and his chain 

But the county laid my husband in the grave 

(Yes warden) 

The county laid my baby's Papa in the grave 

I will pawn you my watch, I will pawn you my ring, 

I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring 

I will wash all your clothes, I will scrub all your floors 

If this will get my baby out of jail 

(Yes warden) 

You know I want my baby out of jail
