Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows;
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose!

Looking at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue
Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you
When he's there a-sleeping in his little place
Think I see the angels looking thro' the lace
When the dark is falling, when the shadows creep
Then they come on tip-toe s to kiss him in his sleep
