Oh dear, I'm so tired and so lonesome   I wonder why mommy don't come   She told me to close my pretty blue eyes   And when I awoke she'd be home.      She said she was going to see Grandma   Who lives by the river so wide   And I guess my mommy fell in there   And probably she won't be home tonight.      I guess I'll go out and find papa   I expect he has stopped in at the store   It's a big pretty store filled with bottles   And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore.      For he is so sick when he comes home   He stumbles and falls on the stairs   And once as he went in the palor   he kicked at my poor little chair.      But I love him, I guess i'll find him   And i know he will gladly come home   Then it won't be so dark or so lonely   while waiting for mama to come.      So out in the night went the baby   The sweet little blossom so fair   With eyes as bright as the morning   And a head full of yella-golden hair.      She pushed the heavy bar room door open   And her papa in the corner she spied   Down the hall her little feat pattered   And soon she was close by his side.      Oh papa, she cried as she reached him   I know that the music is sweet   But it's suppertime now, oh papa   Little blossom wants something to eat.      A moment the red eyes gazed wildly   Down into her face sweet and fair   And just as a demon possessed him   He kicked off the back of a chair.      A moment a second was over   The work of a fein was complete   the poor little innocent blossom   Lay crumbled and crushed at his feet.      Then in swept the lay so majestic   And said with your life you must pay   For only a fein or a mad man   Could murder a child in that way.      A moment the baby's life trembled   Then poor little blossom was dead...
