Cover art for Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby lyrics by Emmylou Harris

anyone think it's from Death's perspective? this is a compilation of different things i've heard but! especially the "she's long gone with her red shoes on gonna need another loving babe"

red has symbolized untimely death for awhile, andd the "another loving babe" could mean Baby Jesus, in Heaven?

"come lay bones on the alabaster stones and be my everlovin' baby " you don't talk to a baby about being in it's grave, yea?
