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
