Took there baby with them, oh what a sad little girl.

Behind their couch, she'd be hiding,

Oh what a sad little life

Used a gun on her mom, and then took his life.

Took the girl far away

To a new mom, and a new daddy

Kisses and hugs every day.

First day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in,

I don't know his name, but I know he got off.

Cause he was there in my old house,

Held me close to his side.

As I hid there behind our couch.
