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
