Poor Sweet Baby

Jean Shepard · Greatest Hits [1976]

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...

Poor sweet baby
