Mother dear, come bathe my forehead
I am growing very weak
Let th clear an' cooling water
Fall upon my cheeks

Tell my loving little playmates
That I never more shall play
Give them all my toys, but Mother
Put my little shoes away

Santa Claus, he bought them to me
With so many other things
An' I think he brought an angel
With a pair of wings

Mother, soon I'll be with Jesus
E'r perhaps another day
Then --- my loving Mother
Put my little shoes away

VERSE 5
Soon, th baby will grow larger
They will fit his little feet
Won't he look so nice an' tidy
As he walks along th street

VERSE 6
Mother, now I'm going to leave you
So, remember what I say
Then, O then, my loving Mother
Put my little shoes away
