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

To the warden of the 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

I tried to raise him right

and I prayed both day and night

That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad

I have searched both far

and wide and I feared that he had died

Now at last I found my baby here in jail

It was just five years today

since my husband passed away

He was found beneath

the snow so cold and white

Made a vow to keep his ring

his golden watch and his chain

But the county laid

my husband in the ground

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you my golden diamond ring

I will wash all your clothes

I will scrub all your floors

If that will get my baby out of jail

Then we heard the warden say to

that lady old and gray

I will bring your baby boy to your side

Two big iron gates swung

wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart

She kissed her baby boy and then she died
