The Brass Ring

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 babiesWhere 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 heavenNo love and no lover

A murder of crows did sing

We soon will discover

The 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 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 togetherShe 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 ringI 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 sorrowsNo love and no lover

A murder of crows did sing

We soon will discover

The coffin will wear our brass ringNo love and no lover

A murder of crows did sing

We soon will discover

A coffin will wear our brass ring

Wear our brass ring
