Im Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE 1]
"I'm not [G]in your town to stay,"
Said a l[G]ady old and gray
To the w[D]arden of the penitenti[G]ary
"I'm not [G]in your town to stay
And I'll s[G]oon be on my way
I'm just h[D]ere to get my baby out of ja[G]il
Yes wa[C]rden
I'm just h[D]ere to get my baby out of j[G]ail"

[VERSE 2]
"I tried to ra[G]ise my baby right
And I p[G]rayed both day and night
That he'd n[D]ever follow the footsteps of his d[G]ad
I had sea[G]rched both far and wide
And I fe[G]ared that he had died
But at l[D]ast I've found my baby here in j[G]ail
Yes wa[C]rden
I'm just h[D]ere to get my baby out of j[G]ail."

[VERSE 3]
"I will p[G]awn you his watch
I will p[G]awn you my chain
I will pa[D]wn you my golden wedding r[G]ing
I will p[G]awn you my cook
Forgot the wo[G]rds to that verse
If t[D]hat will get my baby out of j[G]ail
Yes wa[C]rden
I'm just h[D]ere to get my baby out of j[D]ail."
