Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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, saying I was no good

[Verse 3]

Well, all right, I'm bad, but then you're no prize either

All right, I'm bad, but then that's nothing new

You say you won't love me, I won't love you neither

Just let me remind you what I am to you

[Verse 4]

'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

[Verse 5]

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

[Outro]

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?
