Lyrics
Sweetest little feller, everybody knows
Dunno what to call him, but he mighty like a rose
Lookin’ at his Mammy, wid eyes so shiny blue
Make you think that heaven is comin’ close to you
When he’s dar a-sleepin’, in his little place
Think I see de angels lookin’ through de lace
When de dark is fallin’, when de shadders creep
Den dey comes on toptoe, ter kiss ‘im in his sleep
