Babies who died before being baptised had to be buried in unconsecrated ground, their souls forever separated from their mothers. The mother's words express her deep sorrow and sense of loss, and how she feels she can't live with the loss of her baby.
Is there a complete version of the song? Maybe on a record that I don't know of? Love her version almost as much as the one done by Karen Matheson.
