Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows;

Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose!

Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue,

Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you.

When he's there a-sleepin' in his little place,

Think I see the angels looking thro' the lace.

When the dark is falling, when the shadows creep,

Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep.

Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows,

Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose!

Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue,

Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you.
