Don`t Make Me Go To Bed And I`ll Be Good Lyrics

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...



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...
