So the baby’s crying
\nlying on the floor
\nMomma’s fast asleep
\nBaby’s bleeding
\nfell off the bed
\nMomma’s sleeping
\nand she won’t wake up<\/p>\n
I come home from my shift
\ncooking at the restaurent
\nGot to the job three hours late
\n’cause Momma kept the car
\nand the kids God love ’em
\nare my charge<\/p>\n
So the baby’s crying
\nlying on the floor
\nMomma’s fast asleep
\nBaby’s bleeding
\nfell off the bed
\nMomma’s sleeping
\nand she won’t wake up<\/p>\n
I try to wake her up
\nbaby’s bleeding in my arms
\nhe’s got a cut lip
\nfrom falling to the floor
\nhe’s looking at me
\nwondering where I was
\nand I’m wondering if
\nmy life is done<\/p>\n
So the baby’s crying
\nlying on the floor
\nMomma’s fast asleep
\nBaby’s bleeding
\nfell off the bed
\nMomma’s sleeping
\nand she won’t wake up<\/p>\n
I’m so afraid they’ll take my boys
\nI love them so much
\nI don’t know what to do
\nMomma’s given up
\nshe won’t stay home
\nwon’t get a job
\nI gotta work in the restaurent<\/p>\n
So the baby’s crying
\nlying on the floor
\nMomma’s fast asleep
\nBaby’s bleeding
\nfell off the bed
\nMomma’s sleeping
