Generate meaning
1
A laughing baby boy one evening in his play
2
He disturbed the household with his noisy glee
3
Well I warned him to keep quiet but he soon would disobey
4
For he would soon forget a word from me.
5
Then I called him to my side and said son you must go to bed
6
For your conduct has been very very rude
7
With quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me
8
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
9
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
10
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
11
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
12
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
13
Our lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam
14
Our boy now in our hearts was very dear
15
Well I hastened to his bed and found him talking in his sleep
16
He didn't seem to know that we were near.
17
So I took him in my arms and found his body raked with pain
18
To ease his pain we did the best we could
19
It broke my heart to hear him cryin' so loudly in his sleep
20
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
21
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
22
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
23
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
24
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
25
All night and day we watched and prayed and we never left his side
26
To give him up it seemed we never could
27
It broke my heart to hear him saying just before he died
28
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good.
29
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
30
(Don't papa and I'll be good)
31
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
32
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good...
