Little Joe |
Mother, what will Thomas, the old gardener say |
When you ask him for flowers for me? |
Will he give you a rose he has tended with care? |
The fairest, fairest broom on the tree |
What will the birds do, mother, in the spring? |
Will they gather the crumbs around our door? |
Will they fly from the trees and tap at my window |
Asking why Joe wanders out no more? |
What will the kitten do, mother, all alone? |
Will he stop from his frolic for a day? |
Will he lie on the rug by the side of my bed |
As he did before I went away? |
I’ve seen tears come in his honest eyes |
But he said it was the wind that brought 'em there |
As he gazed on my cheeks growing paler everyday |
His hand trembled over my hair |
Keep Tag, mother, my poor little dog |
I know he will mourn for me too |
Keep him in old and unless he grows |
Sleeping all along summer through |
Show him my coat, mother, so he’ll not forget |
His master then will be dead |
Speak to him kindly and often of Joe |
Pat him on his brown shaggy head |
And you, mother dear, may you miss me for a while? |
But in heaven no larger I grow |
And any kind angel will open the gate |
When you ask for your darling Little Joe |
And any kind angel will open the gate |
When you ask for your darling Little Joe |
