| Our little girl had taken sick one evening
|
| As she walked home from shcool
|
| And then her deathbed soon claimed her
|
| It made us so sad and so blue
|
| Then she called me close to her bedside
|
| And whispered these words soft and low
|
| Tell mommy to come to me quickly
|
| I want to kiss you both and go
|
| (Refrain)
|
| I hear a sweet voice calling
|
| way up in Heaven on high
|
| God has made room for your daughter
|
| Oh mommy and daddy dont cry
|
| Take care of little brother
|
| Tell him I’m gone to rest
|
| I know his little heart is broken
|
| He’s all that you have left
|
| Then she closed eyes forever
|
| Never to see us no more
|
| Until we meet our darlin
|
| On that bright and peaceful shore
|
| refrain
|
| refrain |
