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,
