Letra de The Ballad Of Lucy Gray Baird

When I was a babe, I fell down in the holler When I was a girl, I fell into your arms We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey You stole and you gambled and I said: You should We sang for our suppers, we drank up our money Then one day, you left sayin' I was no good Well, alright, I'm bad, but then you're no prize either Alright, I'm bad, but then that's nothin' new You say you won't love me, I won't love you neither Just let me remind you what I am to you 'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping I am the one who knows how you were brave And I am the one who heard what you said sleeping I'll take that and more when I go to my grave It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under It's sooner than later that you'll be alone So who will you turn to tomorrow? I wonder For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own I am the one who you let see you weeping I know the soul that you struggle to save Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the Reaping Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
