Paul Kelly
Incident on South Dowling
[Verse 1]
My baby was dying
Turning so blue
Four feet from me dying
My head was like glue
[Refrain]
I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)
[Verse 2]
Loaded and sinking
To the vegetable zone
She just kept on sinking
Now she's mineral and bone
[Refrain]
I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)
[Chorus]
We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)
[Chorus]
We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms
[Outro]
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
