Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonely I wonder why mommy don't come |
|
She told me to close my pretty blue eyes and when I awoke she'd be home |
|
I guess I'll go down and find daddy I think he went down to the store |
|
That big long room filled with bottles I wish that he'd go there no more |
|
Sometimes he's so sick when he comes home he staggers and falls on the ground |
|
One night when came in the parlor he kicked my poor dolly around |
|
But I love him and I guess I'll go find him I know he would gladly come home |
|
Then it won't be so dark and so lonesome while waiting for money to come |
|
His red eyes gazed wild when she found him her sweet smiling face was still fair |
|
But too late the demon possessed him for he grabbed at the back of a chair |
|
In a moment the whole thing was over the work of the beast was complete |
|
And a poor little innocent blossom lay dying at her daddy's feet |
