| A mother went out on a party
|
| She left at home her baby son
|
| He cried and begged her not to leave him
|
| But she would not give up her fun
|
| She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him
|
| But would not heed his childish plea
|
| She heard him call as she was leavin'
|
| «Please mommy, please stay home with me.»
|
| The mother joined the merrymakers
|
| And soon was lost in trifling joy
|
| The mellow tunes and flitting shadows
|
| Made her forget her baby boy
|
| She danced and laughed and did some drinkin'
|
| The world for her was full of glee
|
| But now and then these words would haunt her
|
| «Please mommy, please stay home with me.»
|
| She left the party feeling dizzy
|
| The smell of drinking on her breath
|
| She hurried home to find her baby
|
| In raging pain and nearing death
|
| The doctor came and looked on sadly
|
| The case was hopeless, he could see
|
| The baby died, these words repeating
|
| «Please mommy, please stay home with me.»
|
| The mother now, her life would forfeit
|
| To hear her baby’s voice again
|
| She grieved to think she rudely left him
|
| To satisfy her wicked vain
|
| Now mothers don’t neglect your duty
|
| This story should a lesson be
|
| Do not ignore your baby’s pleading
|
| «Please mommy, please stay home with me.» |
