WHEN OUR BABY DIED
When our baby died—
My Ma she ist cried an' cried!
Yes 'n' my Pa he cried, too—
An' I cried—An' me an' you.—
An' I 'tended like my doll
She cried too—An' ever'—all—
O ist ever'body cried
When our baby died!
My Ma she ist cried an' cried!
Yes 'n' my Pa he cried, too—
An' I cried—An' me an' you.—
An' I 'tended like my doll
She cried too—An' ever'—all—
O ist ever'body cried
When our baby died!
When our baby died—
Nen I got to took a ride!
An' we all ist rode an' rode
Clean to Heav'n where baby goed—
Mighty nigh!—An' nen Ma she
Cried ag'in—an' Pa—an' me.—
All but ist the Angels cried
When our baby died!
Nen I got to took a ride!
An' we all ist rode an' rode
Clean to Heav'n where baby goed—
Mighty nigh!—An' nen Ma she
Cried ag'in—an' Pa—an' me.—
All but ist the Angels cried
When our baby died!
