lyrics

Well mama’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s in the field
Baby’s in the bathtub
cryin’ as she bleeds
So alone
Oh, what a way to go

Water turning crimson
She slides her head below
Drifts into the darkness
As the water overflows
Oh so alone
Oh, what a way to go

Daddy’s shakin’ and he’s tremblin’
Uncontrollably
Mama starts to praying
Falls down on her knees
Oh baby no
Oh, what a way to go

I’m out in the garden
Sitting on an old fence post
Dreaming of a future
Where little girls don’t lose all hope

All you little children
Hang down your heads and hide
Your sharpened little tongues
Stab just like a knife
And cut to the bone
Oh, what a way to go

Baby’s in her church dress
The family gathers round
And on her 13th birthday we
Lower her in the ground
Oh all alone
Oh, what a way to go
