I`m Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail — текст песни (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

Then I heard the warden say to the lady old and gray
I will bring your darlin` baby to your side
Two iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin` to her heart
She kissed her baby boy and then she died
(But smilin`)
In the arms of her dear darlin` boy she died
