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.
