Cat. #0096 (MFH #417) - As sung by Mr. Ed Stilley, Eureka Springs, Arkansas on May 1, 1958
VERSE 1
Our little girl taken sick one even'n
While she was walkin' home from school
As she lay in her death bed complainin'
It left us so sad and so blue
VERSE 2
She said, I hear a sweet voice callin'
Away up in heaven, on high
God made room for our darling
O, Mamma and Daddy don't cry
VERSE 3
Take care of my little brother
O, tell him, that I've gone to rest
I know his little heart is breakin'
But he's all that you have left
VERSE 4
As she closed her little eyes up forever
Never to see us no more
Until we are gathered in heaven
On that bright and that peaceful shore
VERSE 5
She said, I hear a sweet voice calling
Away up in heaven, on high
God made room for our darling
O, Mamma and Daddy don't cry
