Incident On South Dowling

My baby was dying
Turning so blue
Four feet from me dying
My head was like glue
I couldn’t save my baby
(He couldn’t save his baby)
Loaded and sinking
To the vegetable zone
She just kept on sinking
Now she’s mineral and bone
I couldn’t save my baby
(He couldn’t save his baby)
We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms
A head full of rocks
Is a heavy, heavy head
I was watching a movie
Where someone looked dead
Now people, they whisper
Now people, they stare
They say I couldn’t save her
Even though I was right there
I couldn’t save my baby
(He couldn’t save his baby)
We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la
