Sweetest little fellow everybody knows Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose Looking at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you When he's there a-sleeping in his little place Think I see the angels looking through the lace When the dark is falling 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 like a rose Looking at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you
