Little Blossom Lyrics

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she'd be home.

She said she was going to see Grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And I guess my mommy's feeling bad
And perhaps she won't be home tonight.

So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore.

So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with prideGeorge Huff - Little Blossom - http://motolyrics.com/george-huff/little-blossom-lyrics.html
'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light.

Oh, daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost suppertime, daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat.

A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair.

A moment, a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby's left trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead...
