John Mellencamp - The Bra** Ring lyrics

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 pa** 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 bra** 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'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 bra** 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 bra** ring No love and no lover A murder of crows did sing We soon will discover A coffin will wear our bra** ring Wear our bra** ring
