Another Tom Waits murder ballad. With murder foreshadowed in the first lines, the drug-addicted, drug-dealing father first leaves his baby alone in a hotel room while he goes out to score. Then he leaves the baby to die out in the snow since you obviously can't take a baby along to a 10-grand drug deal in Baltimore. Chilling, not the least because of how sweetly it's sung.
