I lost my baby

Let me tell you

Right around episode three or four

He put on a shirt of a red hue

And then he walked right out the door

He said he’d be safe, not to worry

The captain was coming along

But when he died, I got so very sad

And that’s why I’m singing this song

Well, how many times can a woman lose a man?

And how many episodes until she understands

That death is cold and death is bold and we all heed its call

And it’s easier to live having never loved at all

I will follow

Well, I lost my baby soon after

Right around episode twenty-five

And just like the first, he didn’t beam back

Even though everyone else survived

He swore nothing bad would happen

The planet was safe and secure

But when he died, I got so very mad

It was more than a girl could endure

I lost my baby

Around episode thirty six

I thought that nothing bad could happen

'Cause he never left the ship

But later that week at his service

They said some beautiful things

And then they jettisoned his body

Along with my wedding ring
