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
