Skeleton Key

My baby left me her skeleton key

She said come and take whatever I need

Up under the stairs by her back door

I don't have to wait no moreMy baby left me her skeleton key

My baby keeps her window open wide

She loves the breeze on a summer night

It don't matter where I've been, I know I can slip on it

My baby keeps her window open wideMy baby keeps her fire burning all night long

She knows I won't stay gone too long

Winter comes and it's freezing cold

I've got some place warm to go

My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
