I'm Just Here to Get My Baby out of Jail chords and lyrics - PORTER WAGONER

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C](Ye[F]s warden) I'm just here[G]
to get my baby out [C]of jail
I'm not in your town to stay
said a lady old and gray
To the [G]warden of the peniten[C]tiary
I'm not in your town to stay and
I'll soon be on my way
I'm just [G]here to get my baby out
of jail
[C][F]

[Verse 2]
(Yes warden) I'm just [G]here
to get my baby out [C]of jail
I tried to raise baby right and I
prayed both day and night
That he [G]wouldn't follow the
footsteps of his [C]dad
And I've searched both far and wide
and I'd feared that he had died
But at [G]fast I found my baby here
in jail
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
(Yes warden) you [G]know
I want my baby out of [C]jail
I will pawn you my watch and
I'll pawn you my chain
I will [G]pawn you my golden wedding [C]band
I will wash all your clothes and
I'll scrub all your floors
If [G]that will get my baby out
of jail
[C][F]

[Verse 4]
(Yes warden) you [G]know I want
my baby out [C]of jail
Then I heard the warden say to
the lady [Am]so old and gr[G]ay
I'll bring your [Bb]darlin'
[C]boy to your side
Then two big iron gates swung wide
apart she held her darling to her heart
[G]In the arms of her boy boy she [C]died
[F](A smiling) in the [G]arms of
her dear boy there she [C]died
