"Old Gray Lady" in lyrics

Marty Robbins - The Southern Dixie Flyer

At the station house one day
Was a lady old and gray
I could tell that her heart was feelin' sad and low
With a teardrop in her eye

Helen Merrill - I'm Here To Get My Baby Out of Jail

"I′m not in your town to stay"
Said a lady old and gray to the warden of a penitentiary
"I'm not in your town to stay
And I′ll soon be on my way
