_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
A laughing baby boy [C] one evening in his play
[D] Disturbed the household with his noisy glee _
I warned him to be quiet but [C] he soon would disobey
For [D] he would soon forget the words [G] from me _
I called him to my side and said,
Now [C] son, you go to bed
[D] Your conduct has been very, very [G] rude _
With quivering lips and tear-filled eyes
[C] He pleaded then with me
[D] Don't make me go to bed and I'll [G] be good _
_ Don't bop and [D] I'll be good _
_ Don't bop and [G] I'll be good _
That's what I heard him say
And [C] it haunts me night and day
[D] Don't make me go to bed and [G] I'll be good _
Our lives had just been brightened
[C] By his bright ascending pains
[D] And our boy now in our heart was [G] very dear _
We hastened to his bed one night
[C] He was talking in his sleep
[D] And he didn't seem to know that we [G] were near _
I took him in my arms
And [C] found his body wracked with pain
[D] Through his pain we did the best [G] we could _
What broke my heart to hear him [C] crying loudly in his sleep
[D] Don't make me go to bed and I'll [G] be good _
_ Don't bop and [D] I'll be good _
_ Don't bop and I'll [G] be good _
That's what I heard him say
And [C] it haunts me night and day
[D] Don't make me go to bed and [G] I'll be good _
Our sorrow filled the heart
And how [C] the fear oppressed the mind
[D] When danger hovers round the [G] one we love _
He lingered but a day when [C] his spirit passed away
[D] Just to join the [D] angel chorus [G] up above _
All night and day we watched and [C] prayed we never left his side
[D] To give him up it seemed we [G] never could
What broke my heart to hear him [C] crying just before he died
[D] Don't make me go to bed and [G] I'll be good _
_ Don't bop and [D] I'll be good _
_ Don't bop and [G] I'll be good _
That's what I heard him say
And [C] it haunts me night and day
[D] Don't make me go to bed and [G] I'll be good _
