Hank Snow

Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good

(Hugh Cross)

A laughing baby boy one evening in his play
He disturbed the household with his noisy glee
Well I warned him to keep quiet but he soon would disobey
For he would soon forget a word from me.

Then I called him to my side and said son you must go to bed
For your conduct has been very very rude
With quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.

(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.

Our lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam
Our boy now in our hearts was very dear
Well I hastened to his bed and found him talking in his sleep
He didn't seem to know that we were near.

So I took him in my arms and found his body raked with pain
To ease his pain we did the best we could
It broke my heart to hear him cryin' so loudly in his sleep
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.

(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.

All night and day we watched and prayed and we never left his side
To give him up it seemed we never could
It broke my heart to hear him saying just before he died
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.

(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good...

Mirror lyrics:

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good...
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
It broke my heart to hear him saying just before he died
To give him up it seemed we never could
All night and day we watched and prayed and we never left his side

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
It broke my heart to hear him cryin' so loudly in his sleep
To ease his pain we did the best we could
So I took him in my arms and found his body raked with pain

He didn't seem to know that we were near.
Well I hastened to his bed and found him talking in his sleep
Our boy now in our hearts was very dear
Our lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
(Don't papa and I'll be good)

Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
With quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me
For your conduct has been very very rude
Then I called him to my side and said son you must go to bed

For he would soon forget a word from me.
Well I warned him to keep quiet but he soon would disobey
He disturbed the household with his noisy glee
A laughing baby boy one evening in his play
