Come a good and come a bad times 
 for a crime I'm doing time 
 I was, but I plead not guilty 
 for a while I thought they'd set me free 
    But my baby stood by me 
 waiting at the gate for my release 
 everybody can envy 
 how my love will stand by me   
 So my love will stand by me 
 she'lll be waiting at the gate 
 for my release 
 waiting now for five years   
 I can not remember 
 how we got together 
 she was just a teenager 
 now she's a mother
