The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird


Tone gốc: Am

Maiah Wynne

When I Cwas a babe I fell Gdown in the holler
When I Cwas a Fgirl I fell Ginto your arms
We fellC on hardF times and weC lost our brightG color
You wentAm to the dogsF and IG lived by my Ccharms

I dancedC for my dinner, spread Gkisses like honey
You stoleC and youF gambled and I Gsaid you should
We sangC for our Fsuppers, weC drank up ourG money
Then one Amday youF left, saying GI was no Cgood

Well, allC right, I'mF bad, but then, you'reC no prize Geither
All rightC, I'm badF, but thenC, that's nothingG new
You say Cyou won't loveF me, I won'tC love you Gneither
Just letAm me remindF you whoG I am toC you

'Cause IC am the one who looks outG when you're leaping
I amC the one Fwho knowsC how you wereG brave
And IC am the oneF who knowsC what you saidG sleeping
I'llAm take that andF more whenG I go to myC grave

It's soonerC than later that I'mG six feet under
It's soonerC than later that you'llG be alone
So whoC will you turnF to tomorrowC, I Gwonder?
For whenAm the bellF rings, lover, you'reC on your own

IC am the one who you letG see you weeping
I knowC the soulF that youC struggle toG save
Too badC I'm the bet that you lostG in the reaping
Now whatAm will you doF when I goG to myC grave?
