See the baby sleeping, hear his mother weeping She knows her son is bound to die Her head is hanging low, her eyes have lost their glow But still she seems sweet, pass you by. Bye you baby, bye you bye you baby Bye you bye you baby, bye you bye I love you so, so please don't go To those greener pastures in the sky. Last week Doc Severs said mom The fever has got this boy and he shall die She said he's all I've had, that's 'cause we lost his dad But still she seems sweet, pass you by. Bye you baby, bye you bye you baby Bye you bye you baby, bye you bye I love you so, so please don't go To those greener pastures in the sky...
