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
