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
