My baby cares for the dead, I said: Come join the living baby, the bright sunshine and it's so great to be alive and have a good time but my baby hung around the dead making money acting friendly with the funeral family and she was wed
My baby married a rich man mama, what can I do? she cares for the dead now mama, she'll care for you and my baby had a baby, not by me, but by him her lover who cares for the dead and that birth meant the death of our love
I know someday my baby will care for me she'll [bleed?] and dress me mama, real fancy and she'll lay me in a coffin comb my hair, put marbles in my eyes, ey-eye
I know someday my baby will care for me (x6) my baby cares for the dead
