Since I Lost My Baby

                                  Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life. . .

a new day is dawning sunny and bright.

But after I've been crying all night the sun is cold 

and the new day seems old.

Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

 

Birds are singing and the children are playing, 

there's plenty of work and the bosses are paying.

Not a sad word should my young heart be saying, 

but fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.

Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

 

Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?

Someone just remind her 'bout this love she left behind her.

'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, ev'ry day I'm  more inclined to find her, 

inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby.

Been a-looking ev'rywhere, baby, I really, really care.

 

Oh, determination is fading fast. . . Inspiration is a thing of the past. . .

Can't see my hope's gonna last. . . 

good things are bad and what's happy is sad.

Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby.

I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,

I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong,
