Poor Sweet Baby Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I knew this morning as soon as the phone rang 

That crazy woman had hurt you again 

That's why I told you come on over 

The coffee's warm and so are my arms 

That you fit so nicely in 

Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby 

Did my baby spend another sleepless night? 

Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow 

Let mama love your pain away 

And make everything all right 

If she don't love you why don't she leave you 

And let a real woman light your fire 

You're too big a boy to go to bed hungry 

And the way that I need you 

I could feed you anything your heart desires 

Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby 

Did my baby spend another sleepless night? 

Poor sweet baby comes tomorrow 

Let mama love your pain away 

And make everything all right 

Poor sweet baby
