Dolly Parton Miscellaneous Little Blossom Oh dear i'm so tired and so lonesome I wonder why mommy don't come She told me to shut up my blue eyes And before i woke up she'd be home She said she was going to see grandma Who lives by the river so wide And i guess my mommy's feeling bad And perhaps she won't be home tonight So i guess i'll go down and meet daddy Perhaps he has stopped at the store It's a great big store full of bottles And i wish he wouldn't go there anymore So out in the night with the baby Her little heart beating with pride 'til her tired feet entered the gin palace With music all radiant with light Oh daddy she cried as she reached him I think that the music's so sweet But it's almost suppertime daddy Little blossom wants something to eat A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly Down into her face sweet and fair And as the demon possessed him He grasped at the back of a chair A moment a second was over He lifted her fair golden head A moment the baby's left trembled Then poor little blossom was dead
