Poor Sweet Baby

(Bill Anderson)



Bill Anderson & Mary Lou Turner



I knew this morning as soon as the phone rang

That crazy woman had hurt you again

That's why I told you to come on over

The coffee is warm, so are the arms that you fit so nicely in.



Poor sweet baby, poor sweet baby

Did my baby spend another sleepless night

Poor sweet baby, come to mama

Let mama love your pain away and make everything alright.



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

Let a real woman light your fire

Your 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, come to mama

Let mama love your pain away and make everything alright.



Poor sweet baby...
