Daggers of moonlight Murder the sheets And the stink of a four dollar room And Daddy's gone a hunting For a dime bag schoolboy Tied up with a yellow balloon
So hush little baby, Daddy must go I cover you up with a blanket of snow By the time I make Jersey You'll be in heaven In a pretty blue shoe box I know
So sing a song of ten grand With a pocket full of dough And I can't take you to Baltimore Wake God up in Heaven Have him look down below There's a little lost angel Blooming in the snow
