john mellencamp - the brass 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 p-ss 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 br-ss 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 br-ss 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 br-ss ring
no love and no lover
a murder of crows did sing
we soon will discover
the coffin will wear our br-ss ring
wear our br-ss ring
