[Intro]
Climb up on my knee, Sonny boy
You are only three, Sonny boy
You have no way of knowing
I have no way of showing
What you mean to me, Sonny boy

[Verse 1]
Oh, when there are gray skies
Hhoney, I don't mind those gray skies
I'll still have you, Sonny boy
Don't you know that?
My friends may forsake me
Oh, let them go on and forsake me
You're gonna pull me straight through, Sonny boy

[Verse 2]
Oh, you're sent from heaven
And I know your worst
You've made a heaven for me
Right here on Earth

[Chorus]
I'm coming, oh yes I'm coming
I'm sorry that I made you wait
Oh yes I'm coming, good God I'm coming
I hope and pray it's not too late
Can't you hear my mammy?
My little mam, my little mammy
I walk a million miles for one of your smiles
Oh, my mam, my, my mam, my little mammy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, weep no more, weep no more, my lady
Sing that song again for me
Oh, sing a song that low just as though
You had me you had me right there on your knee
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver
As many that you sing that's what I deliver
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody

[Outro]
Friends may forsake me
Let them forsake me
I'll still have you Sonny boy
