My baby went to sleep unhappy
And I can’t wake him to say I’m sorry.
 
My baby went to sleep unhappy
And I can't wake him to tell him I'm sorry.
 
Wish I could wake him and tell him everything's just fine.
But my baby went to sleep unhappy
Don’t know what next morning’ll find.
 
He went to sleep with his eyes so sad
Oh, he went to sleep with his eyes so sad.
Makes me wonder what sad things
he saw, when he looked at me.
 
My baby went to sleep unhappy
And there’s nothing I can do.
I’m scared to know what the morning’ll bring
Don’t know what the morning’ll bring.
When morning starts steppin’our way
What do you think my poor baby’s going to sing?
 
On my sour lullaby he’ll
wake up feeling sick and tired
Oh, on that sour lullaby he’ll
wake up feeling so sick and tired.
 
My baby went to sleep unhappy
Feel like I’ll never close my eyes.
