Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows; Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose! Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue, Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you. When he's there a-sleepin' 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 to kiss him in his sleep. Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows, Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose! Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue, Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you.
