Lost Unto This World Emmylou Harris

[Verse]
I was once some mother's darlin'
Some daddy's little girl
More precious than the ruby
More cherished than the pearl
My heart was full of mercy
And my forehead full of curl
Now I am nothing and am lost unto this world

[Chorus]
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world

[Verse]
They herded me like cattle
Cut me down like corn
Took me from my babies
Before they could be born
You can blame it on the famine
You can blame it on the war
You can blame it on the devil
It don't matter anymore

[Chorus]
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world
