Hank Snow Don't Make me go to Bed and I'll
be Good Lyrics:
A laughing baby boy,
One evening in his play,
Disturbed the household with his noisy glee;
I warned him to be good,
But he soon did disobey,
For he would soon forget a word from me.
I called him to my side
And said,"son you must go to bed;
Cause your conduct has been very, very rude;
With trembling lips and tear filled eyes,
He pleaded then with me,
"Don't make me go to bed and I'll be good."

[Chorus:]
Don't papa, and I'll be good
Don't papa, and I'll be good
That's what I heard him say,
And it haunts me night and day,
Don't make me go to bed and I'll be good.

[Verse 2:]
Our lives had just been gladdened
By his bright ascending beams
Our boy now in our hearts was very dear
I hastened to his bed
And found him talking in his sleep
He didn't seem to know that we were near
I took him in my arms
And found his body racked with pain
To ease his pain we did the best we could
It broke my heart to hear him crying loudly in his sleep
"Don't make me go to bed and I'll be good."

[Verse 3:]
How sorrow fills our heart
How fears oppress our mind
When danger gathers round those ones we love
He lingered but a day, then his spirit passed away
To join the angel chorus up above
All night and day we watched and prayed
We never left his side
To give him up, it seemed we never could
It broke my heart to hear him saying just before he died
"Don't make me go to bed and I'll be good."
