Ain't Got No Sweet Baby

Ain't Got No Sweet Baby Now
Ain't got no sweet baby now
Can you hear her in the woods
beggin' me, "Be good"?
Ain't got no sweet baby now

I am a bad, bad man
I took her all alone
oh so far from home
I am a bad, bad man

I've got a cold, dead, black heart
I'm drinkin' in her fear
The only one that's near
I've got a cold, dead, black heart

I took a shovel in my hand
There's no one else for miles
to hear that poor child
I took a shovel in my hand

Ain't got no sweet baby now
She done nothin' wrong
and now I'm cursed by God
Ain't got no sweet baby now
