Baby mine, don't you cry

Baby mine, dry your eyes

Rest your head close to my heart

Never to part, baby of mine



Little one, when you play

Don't you mind what they say

Let those eyes sparkle and shine

Never a tear, baby of mine



If they knew sweet little you

They'd end up loving you too

All those same people who scold you

What they'd give just for the right to hold you



From your head down to your toes

You're not much, goodness knows

But you're so precious to me

Sure as can be, baby of mine
