[00:00.00]I'm Here to Get My Baby out of Jail (Remaster) - Hank Snow
[00:05.20]"I'm not in your town to stay"
[00:07.37]Said a lady old and gray
[00:09.60]To the warden of the penitentiary
[00:13.91]"I'm not in your town to stay
[00:16.09]And I'll soon be on my way
[00:18.19]I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
[00:21.70]Yes warden
[00:23.67]You know I want my baby out of jail"
[00:27.60]I tried to raise my baby right
[00:30.00]I have prayed both day and night
[00:32.19]That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad
[00:36.44]I have searched both far and wide
[00:38.65]And I feared that he had died
[00:40.77]But at last I've found my baby here in jail
[00:44.15]Yes warden
[00:45.86]You know it's good to find my baby here in jail
[00:50.34]It was five years today when my husband passed away
[00:54.61]He was found beneath the snow so cold and white
[00:58.71]'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
[01:01.36]Golden watch and his chain
[01:03.16]But the county laid my husband in the grave
[01:06.52]Yes warden
[01:08.33]The county laid my baby papa in the grave
[01:26.51]I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my ring
[01:30.82]I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring
[01:35.04]I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors
[01:39.49]If this will get my baby out of jail
[01:42.85]Yes warden
[01:44.54]You know I want my baby out of jail
[01:48.77]Then I heard the warden say to the lady old and gray
[01:53.15]I go bring your darling baby to your side
[01:57.28]Two iron gates swung wide apart She held her darling to her heart
[02:01.62]She kissed her baby boy and then she died
[02:04.90]But smiling
[02:07.01]In the arms of her dear darling boy she died
