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
