The saddest girl in the whole wide world
I met her on the Quarter
With no regards for vagrancy, no respect for civil order
How young are you, I asked her
How old are you, young lady?
I'm much older than you think, 'cause I have seven babies
Where are those who keep these kids
While you're out on the party?
I leave them where they are safe
At the church of 12th and Harding
The people there they know me well
They ask me very few questions
And if a child should pass before they wake, they'll pray them into heaven
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
The coffin will wear our brass ring
So where's the father of these kids?
Does he, does he help you ever?
I have no idea where he is
He don't show his face, he knows better
Can I help you go tonight?
It would be my pleasure
And make sure that you arrive all right
Now we could leave together
She said, no, I don't need your company
And I don't want your pity
You'd be wise just to go away
And leave me here where I'm sitting
Is there nothing I can do for you?
Now it's time to scatter
Why do you think there's something wrong with me
There's nothing really the matter?
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
A coffin will wear our brass ring
I find myself where life could go
I find myself each morning
All the duties of this world
Fell on my shoulders without warning
I make no plans, nor do I care
For the future called tomorrow
This world I've seen here's never fair
So just leave me here with my sorrows
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
The coffin will wear our brass ring
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
The coffin will wear our brass ring
Wear our brass ring
I met her on the Quarter
With no regards for vagrancy, no respect for civil order
How young are you, I asked her
How old are you, young lady?
I'm much older than you think, 'cause I have seven babies
Where are those who keep these kids
While you're out on the party?
I leave them where they are safe
At the church of 12th and Harding
The people there they know me well
They ask me very few questions
And if a child should pass before they wake, they'll pray them into heaven
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
The coffin will wear our brass ring
So where's the father of these kids?
Does he, does he help you ever?
I have no idea where he is
He don't show his face, he knows better

And make sure that you arrive all right

So just leave me here with my sorrows
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing

The coffin will wear our brass ring
No love and no lover
A murder of crows did sing
We soon will discover
The coffin will wear our brass ring
Wear our brass ring
