lyrics

Every day when I come home from the field
Baby always had us a nice hot meal
Been quite some time, since she gone to the store
Said she’d only be gone for an hour or four…maybe more…

It’s so hard to work, when you’re hungry as me
So I stay in bed and watch TV
We never said much, but she loved me I’m sure
And baby always used to keep the wolf from the door

Ch: Baby always used to keep the wolf from the door
I used to think she loved me, but now I’m not so sure
The dinner bell ain’t rung now for sixteen hungry days
What am I gonna do if baby’s gone away?

I don’t know why her closet’s so clean
She always kept the same routine
She left for town with her suitcase packed
She probably went to the laundromat

Don’t know where she got all the money she saved
Don’t know who’s been stealing my aftershave
People look at me kind of funny in town
Don’t know why those boys were always hanging round

Ch:

Br: Preacher come round last fifth of July
Said the devil makes his playground in an idle mind
Baby just laughed, looked him straight in the eye
Said come on upstairs and see what you find, in my mind

Now I don’t cook and I really don’t clean
And learning never occurred to me
Baby sure made a nice chicken pot pie
I hope she comes home before I die

Br: Big Black Buzzards, circling round the clouds
Preacher close the lid & put me in the ground
Said a few nice words, that he really don’t mean
Close the earth and forget about me
