Most likely written about Marlene, a continuous throughout Frank’s work. She was his girlfriend who died aged 12 in the Cleveland Elementary School fire, which Frank survived.
Crying like a baby
In my momma's arms
The day they came to tell me
You were gone
What have you done to me
You did not do before
I had you standing right next to me
On the floor
Well, we sang in the same places
We were a double-draw
And the folks came to see us
Had it all
But they took you to some stony place
And they broke your double-jaw
Now the pieces of its ivory
Line the wall
With cold iron in the fireplace
And pictures on the wall
Well I guess it's a-dying peacefully, so far
Yes, I guess it's dying peacefully, so far
Crying like a baby
In my momma's arms
The day they came to tell me
You were gone
You were gone
You were gone
