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 pride

'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...
