Skeleton Key

My baby left me her skeleton key
She said come and take whatever I need
Up under the stairs by her back door
I don't have to wait no more

My baby left me her skeleton key
My baby keeps her window open wide
She loves the breeze on a summer night
It don't matter where I've been, I know I can slip on it
My baby keeps her window open wide

My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
She knows I won't stay gone too long
Winter comes and it's freezing cold
I've got some place warm to go
My baby keeps her fire burning all night long
