A mother went out on a party.
She left at home her baby son.
He cried and begged her not to leave him,
But she would not give up her fun.
She kissed his cheek an
d tried to soothe him,
But would not heed his childish plea.
She heard him call as she was leaving,
Please, Mommy,
please stay home with me.
Mother Joy, the merry -makers,
And soon was lost in trifling joy,
The mellow tunes and
flitting shadows
made her forget her baby boy.
She danced and laughed
an d did some drinking.
The world for her was full of glee.
But now and then,
these words would haunt her
Please, Mommy, please,
stay home with me
She left the party feelin' dizzy
The smell of dreams was on her breath
She hurried home to find her baby
In raging pain and nearing death
The doctor came and looked on sadly
The case was hopeless, he could see
The baby died, these words repeat
Please mommy,
please stay home with me
A mother now, her life would forfeit
To hear her baby's voice again
She grieved her thing, she rudely left him
To satisfy her wish's vain
Now mothers don't neglect your duty
This story should a lesson be
Do not ignore your baby's pleading
Please mommy,
please stay home with me
