Lyrics

Chorus
“Oh! how I wish I could sleep
Until my Daddy comes home
Oh! mamma, why must we always be all alone?
I miss him more ev’ry day
How can you ask me to play
You’re always sighing and crying
Since he went away
Last night I heard Daddy call
But I was dreaming, that’s all
He kissed me, and he said
‘Go to bed, my own’
Oh! mamma, that’s when I thought
God made the nighttime too short
Oh! how I wish I could sleep
Until my Daddy comes home”
