Child of mine, oh sweet child of mine.
Your eyes shine in their sweet amber glow,
and they do look so mighty fine.
Oh sweet child of mine.

Oh how your sweet, old momma used to sing.
She'd give you one last lullaby as you closed those eyes,
but you was too young for such a thing.
Oh how your sweet, old momma used to sing.

You was the cutest little girl, you was.
A button nose and the prettiest smile in the world.
Your momma said, "It brightens my day, it does."
You was the cutest little girl, you was.

Your momma did love you so.
She'd hold you all night 'til you fell asleep,
and she promised she'd never let you go.
Your momma did love you so.

You was just a baby when she passed,
but your momma swore she'd keep on watching you.
You don't remember when you saw her last,
but you was just a baby when she passed.

Momma's right at home in Heaven,
probably singing like an angel to the Lord.
Believe me, though you'se only seven,
that Momma's right at home in Heaven.

Your momma never told a lie.
She was the most honest girl, she was.
I know she's watching as she looks down from the sky,
cause your momma never told a lie.

I miss your momma very much,
and I know you was to young to know her,
but your momma had that special touch.
Oh, I miss your momma very much.

I know you'se aching to meet her badly,
but I wish you would have stayed with me a little longer.
Instead I'se sittin' here sadly,
but I know you'se aching to meet her badly.

I'se trying not to cry,
cause I know you'se gonna go see Momma,
but I keep asking myself why
while I'se trying not to cry.

The Lord's taken my girls away,
but I know it's for the best, I know.
I'se at a loss of words to say
cause the Lord's taken my girls away.

You tell your momma I love her
when you find your way back home.
Go straight to her; don't wander.
You go tell your momma that I still love her.

Lord, keep a good eye on my girls.
Someday, I pray you let me join them.
Momma and Baby are like pearls.
Lord, keep a good eye on my girls.
