Ethelbert Nevin - Mighty Lak' a Rose

To Rate
Sweetest li'l' feller
Ev'rybody knows;
Dunno what to call him
But he mighty lak' a rose!

Lookin' at his Mammy
Wid eyes so shiny blue
Mek' you think that heav'n
Is comin' clost ter you!

W'en he's dar a sleepin'
In his li'l' place
Think I see de angels
Lookin' thro' de lace

W'en de dark is fallin'
W'en de shadders creep
Den dey comes on tiptoe
Ter kiss 'im in his sleep

Sweetest li'l' feller
Ev'rybody knows;
Dunno what to call him
But he mighty lak' a rose!

Lookin' at his Mammy
Wid eyes so shiny blue
Mek' you think that heav'n
Is comin' clost ter you!
