I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail

'I'm not in your town to stay'
我不會在這座城鎮多停留
Said a lady old and gray
一位年老體衰滿頭花白的老婦人

對監獄裡的監獄長說
To the warden of the penitentiary
我不會在這座城鎮多停留

我很快就會上路
'I' m not in your town to stay
我只是來監獄接我的孩子

噢長官我只是來接我的孩子啊
And I'll soon be on my way
我努力將我的孩子養育成人

我日夜都為此祈禱
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
希望他不會像他的父親的人生一樣

我從未放棄過尋找他
Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail'
我很害怕我的孩子已經死去

但最後我卻發現我的孩子在監獄裡
'I tried to raise my baby right
噢長官最後我卻發現我的孩子在監獄裡

今天離那天正好五週年
I have prayed both day and night
五年前他的父親去世了

他被發現在一片雪下雪是如此的冷艷潔白
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad'
那時我發誓要取回他的戒指

還有他的金手錶和鍊子
'I have searched both far and wide
然後政府將他埋葬在了墳墓裡

是的長官政府將他埋葬在了墳墓裡
And I feared that he had died
我可以將他的手錶抵押給你

我可以將他的項鍊抵押給你
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
我可以將他的鑽石婚戒抵押給你

我可以為你洗乾淨所有衣服
Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail'
我可以為你擦乾淨地板

如果那樣能讓我將我的孩子從監獄救出來
'It was just 5 years today
是的長官如果那樣能讓我將我的孩子從監獄救出來的話

之後我聽到了監獄長
When his daddy passed away
對這個滿頭白髮的老婦人說

我會將你親愛的孩子送回你的身邊
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white'
兩扇鐵門緩緩旋轉完全打開

她緊緊將她的孩子抱在懷裡
''Twas then I vowed to take his ring
她親吻著她最親愛的小男孩慢慢閉上了眼睛

她依然微笑著她親吻著她最親愛的小男孩慢慢閉上了眼睛
And his gold watch and his chain
我不會在這座城鎮多停留

一位年老體衰滿頭花白的老婦人說
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave
我只是來監獄接我的孩子

是的長官我只是來接我的孩子啊
Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in thegrave'

'I will pawn you his watch
I will pawn you his chain

I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring'

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

If that will get my baby out of jail

Yes, warden, if that will get my baby out of jail'

Then I heard the warden say

To the lady old and gray

'I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side'

Two iron gates swang wide apart

She held her darlin' to her heart

She kissed her baby boy and then she died

But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died

'I'm not in your town to stay'

Said a lady old and gray

'I'm just here to get my baby out of jail

Yes, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail'
