Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows

Don’t know what to call him but he’s mighty lak’ a rose

Lookin’ at his mammy, eyes so shiny blue

Make you think that heaven is comin’ close to you

When he’s there sleepin’ in his little place

Think I see the angels lookin’ through the lace

When the dark is fallin’, 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 lak’ a rose

Lookin’ at his mammy, eyes so shiny blue

Make you think that heaven is comin’ close to you
