My girl she's going down so low
The doctor tells me she's just six months left to show
How can i tell her though i live this lonely life
Don't you know girl, don't you know you're about to die?

How many summers, have we spend just you and me?
How many autuns have we walked through fallen leaves?
I feel so helpless, no matter what i try
Don't you know girl, don't you see me cry?

Oh lord help me, don't take my little girl from me
She's all i got lord, oh won't you hear my please?
And can't you spare her, so beside me she can stay?
Don't you know girl, don't you see me pray?

My girl she's going down so low
The doctor tells me, she's just six months left to show
How can i tell her though i live this lonely life
Don't you know girl, don't you know you're about to die?
