作曲：

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'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
