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
