Oh come listen to my story | B |
Of a little infant child | C |
His spirit is in glory | B |
It has left us for a while | D |
Death has robbed us of our Henry | B |
He is with our Savior now | E |
Where there is no pain or sorrow | F |
Comes to cloud his little brow | E |
- | |
CHORUS | G |
- | |
God has took their little treasure | H |
And his name I'll tell you now | E |
He has gone from earth forever | H |
Their little Charles Henry House | I |
- | |
His cheeks were red as roses | J |
And his eyes were black as coals | K |
His little lips were red as rubies | L |
And his little hair it curled | M |
Oh they called him little Charley | B |
He was full of joyful mirth | N |
Now his little form is lying | O |
'Neath the cold and silent earth | N |
- | |
It was the eleventh of December | H |
On a cold and windy day | P |
Just at the close of evening | O |
When the sunlight fades away | P |
Little Henry he was dying | O |
In his little crib he lay | P |
With soft winds round him sighing | O |
From the morn till close of day | P |
- | |
Parents brothers sisters weeping | O |
For their cup of sorrow's full | Q |
And his little playthings keeping | O |
That he thought so beautiful | R |
Tears from parents' eyes were starting | O |
For their little loving one | S |
Oh how painful was the parting | O |
From their little infant son | S |
- | |
Oh how often have they kissed him | T |
And caressed his little brow | E |
To his little voice have listened | U |
But his place is vacant now | E |
They called him little Charley | B |
And his loving name they called | V |
But they could not keep their darling | O |
From the loving Savior's call | W |
- | |
But they must now cease their mourning | O |
His little soul is at rest | X |
Where there can no storms of trouble | R |
Roll across his peaceful breast | X |
Now his little form is sleeping | O |
In the cold and silent tomb | Y |
And his friends are left a weeping | O |
In his dear and loving home | Z |
- | |
It was the eleventh of December | H |
Eighteen seventy was the year | A2 |
Kind friends will all remember | H |
Silently let fall a tear | B2 |
But we must not trouble borrow | F |
For the God of heaven is just | C2 |
No one knows a parent's sorrow | F |
Till a child some friend have lost | D2 |
