(Words and Music by C. E. Snow ? Hank, The Singing Ranger)G7 C E C C G7 G7 C Gdim G7Everything has gone wrong and the nights are so long since you left us down here all alone,C E7 F C G7 C F Ceveryday seems a year and the whole world is drear, it seems now I just can¡¯t go on.G7 F C D7 C7Standing close by my side is our own little pride, he misses your lullaby tune,C E7 F C G7 CAnd his big dark blue eyes swell with tears as he cries ¡°Won¡¯t Mummy come back to us soon?¡±I planted sweet lilies for you dear of one on your grave ¡®neath the pines in the dawn and our baby each day kneeled with me as I prayed in mem¡¯ry of you dear old pal.G7 C E C C G7 G7 C Gdim G7The angels will love you and keep you I know, ¡®cause they needed some one just like youC E7 F C G7 C F Cto brighten the heaven around God¡¯s great throne, and add a new star to the blue.G7 F C D7 C7I¡¯ll watch o¡¯er the baby and tend him with care and each night by his bedside I¡¯ll kneelC E7 F C G7 CAnd if tears do not stop me I¡¯ll sing him to sleep in mem¡¯ry of you dear old pal.

All your big stakes and treasures I placed them away to me they mean more than a world and the baby¡¯s first curl to your picture I¡¯ve tend in mem¡¯ry of you dear old pal.
