Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

(Ray Griff) 

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute 

With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain 

I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat 

Then I settled back and closed my eyes again. 

I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin' 

Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head 

There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses 

Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed.

It's the morning after baby let me down 

It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found 

Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently 

It's the mornin' after baby let me down. 

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me 

And I started into trembling like a leaf 

How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover 

And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete. 

I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow 

Hope a glass of wine will take his love away 

Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling 

What a good for nothing way to start the day.

Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently 

It's the mornin' after baby let me down...
