歌词
"I'm not in your town to stay"
我不会在这座城镇多停留
Said a lady old and gray
一位年老体衰 满头花白的老妇人
对监狱里的监狱长说
To the warden of the penitentiary
我不会在这座城镇多停留
我很快就会上路
"I'm not in your town to stay
我只是来监狱接我的孩子
噢 长官 我只是来接我的孩子啊
And I'll soon be on my way
我努力将我的孩子养育成人
我日夜都为此祈祷
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
希望他不会像他的父亲的人生一样
我从未放弃过寻找他
Oh, warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"
我很害怕我的孩子已经死去
但最后我却发现我的孩子在监狱里
"I tried to raise my baby right
噢 长官 最后我却发现我的孩子在监狱里
今天离那天正好五周年
I have prayed both day and night
五年前他的父亲去世了
他被发现在一片雪下 雪是如此的冷艳洁白
That he wouldn't follow the footsteps of his dad"
那时我发誓要取回他的戒指
还有他的金手表和链子
"I have searched both far and wide
然后政府将他埋葬在了坟墓里
是的 长官 政府将他埋葬在了坟墓里
And I feared that he had died
我可以将他的手表抵押给你
我可以将他的项链抵押给你
But at last I've found my baby here in jail
我可以将他的钻石婚戒抵押给你
我可以为你洗干净所有衣服
Oh, warden, at last I've found my baby here in jail"
我可以为你擦干净地板
如果那样能让我将我的孩子从监狱救出来
"It was just 5 years today
是的 长官 如果那样能让我将我的孩子从监狱救出来的话
之后我听到了监狱长
When his daddy passed away
对这个满头白发的老妇人说
我会将你亲爱的孩子送回你的身边
He was found beneath the snow so cold and white"
两扇铁门缓缓旋转 完全打开
她紧紧将她的孩子抱在怀里
"'Twas then I vowed to take his ring
她亲吻着她最亲爱的小男孩 慢慢闭上了眼睛
她依然微笑着 她亲吻着她最亲爱的小男孩 慢慢闭上了眼睛
And his gold watch and his chain
我不会在这座城镇多停留
一位年老体衰 满头花白的老妇人说
Then the county laid his daddy in the grave
我只是来监狱接我的孩子
是的 长官 我只是来接我的孩子啊
Yes, warden, the county laid his daddy in the grave"
"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"
