The saddest girl in the whole wide worldI met her on the QuarterWith no regards for vagrancy, no respect for civil orderHow young are you, I asked herHow old are you, young lady?I'm much older than you think, 'cause I have seven babiesWhere are those who keep these kidsWhile you're out on the party?I leave them where they are safeAt the church of 12th and HardingThe people there they know me wellThey ask me very few questionsAnd if a child should pass before they wake, they'll pray them into heavenNo love and no loverA murder of crows did singWe soon will discoverThe coffin will wear our brass ringSo where's the father of these kids?Does he, does he help you ever?I have no idea where he isHe don't show his face, he knows betterCan I help you go tonight?It would be my pleasureAnd make sure that you arrive all rightNow we could leave togetherShe said, no, I don't need your companyAnd I don't want your pityYou'd be wise just to go awayAnd leave me here where I'm sittingIs there nothing I can do for you?Now it's time to scatterWhy do you think there's something wrong with meThere's nothing really the matter?No love and no loverA murder of crows did singWe soon will discoverA coffin will wear our brass ringI find myself where life could goI find myself each morningAll the duties of this worldFell on my shoulders without warningI make no plans, nor do I careFor the future called tomorrowThis world I've seen here's never fairSo just leave me here with my sorrowsNo love and no loverA murder of crows did singWe soon will discoverThe coffin will wear our brass ringNo love and no loverA murder of crows did singWe soon will discoverA coffin will wear our brass ringWear our brass ring
