CA mother went out Fon a Cparty She left at home her baby G7son
He cried and Cbegged her Fnot to Cleave him But she would not G7give up her Cfun
She kissed his cheek and Ftried to Csoothe him But would not heed his childish G7plea
She heard him Ccall as Fshe was Cleaving Please mommy please stay G7home with Cme
The mother joined Fthe merryCmakers And soon was lost in trifling G7joy
The mellow Ctunes and Fflitting Cshadows MG7adeC her forget her baby boy
She danced and laughed and Fdid some Cdrinking The world for her was full of G7glee
But now and Cthen these words Fwould haunt Cher Please mommy please stay G7home with Cme
She left the party Ffeeling Cdizzy The smell of drinking on her G7breath
She hurried Chome to Ffind her Cbaby In raging pain and G7nearing Cdeath
The doctor came and Flooked on Csadly The case was hopeless he could G7see
The baby Cdied these Fwords rCepeating Please mommy please stay G7home with Cme
The mother now her Flife would Cforfeit To hear her baby's voice G7again
She grieved to Cthink she Frudely left Chim To satisfy her G7wishes Cvein
Now mothers don't Fneglect your Cduty This story should a lesson G7be
Do not Cignore your Fbaby's Cpleading Please mommy please stay G7home with Cme
