The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird Lyrics by Rachel Zegler

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music from & Inspired By)

2023

[Verse 1]
When I was a babe, I fell down in the holler
When I was a girl, I fell into your arms
We fell on hard times and we lost our bright color
You went to the dogs and I lived by my charms
[Verse 2]
I danced for my dinner, spread kisses like honey
You stole and you gambled and I said, "You should"
We sang for our suppers, we drank up our money
Then one day, you left sayin' I was no good
[Verse 3]
Well, alright, I'm bad, but then you're no prize either
Alright, I'm bad, but then that's nothin' new
You say you won't love me, I won't love you neither
Just let me remind you what I am to you
[Verse 4]
'Cause I am the one who looks out when you're leaping
I am the one who knows how you were brave
And I am the one who heard what you said sleeping
I'll take that and more when I go to my grave
[Verse 5]
It's sooner than later that I'm six feet under
It's sooner than later that you'll be alone
So who will you turn to tomorrow? I wonder
For when the bell rings, lover, you're on your own
[Verse 6]
I am the one who you let see you weeping
I know the soul that you struggle to save
Too bad I'm the bet that you lost in the Reaping
Now what will you do when I go to my grave?
