Baby girl,
born on the 4th of July,
sticks and stones may break my bones,
her name's gonna make me cry.
Leave me now,
leave me here,
I don't need you now,
I ain't never gonna need you again.
Plant
the seed,
you
watch it grow,
then haul the water from Mason's Creek,
gonna reap just what you sow.
Leave me now,
my love's turning cold,
I don't need you now,
I see the devil inside your soul.
In the dead of night,
the babe she cried.
With fingers cold and bruised all black,
one last breath she died.
Leave not a trace,
get on down the road,
leave me here with your disgrace,
buried
in the field I hope.
I ain't never gonna need you again.
