Oh come listen to my storyA
Of a little infant childB
His spirit is in gloryA
It has left us for a whileC
Death has robbed us of our HenryA
He is with our Savior nowD
Where there is no pain or sorrowE
Comes to cloud his little browD
-
CHORUSF
-
God has took their little treasureG
And his name I'll tell you nowD
He has gone from earth foreverG
Their little Charles Henry HouseH
-
His cheeks were red as rosesI
And his eyes were black as coalsJ
His little lips were red as rubiesK
And his little hair it curledL
Oh they called him little CharleyA
He was full of joyful mirthM
Now his little form is lyingN
'Neath the cold and silent earthM
-
It was the eleventh of DecemberG
On a cold and windy dayO
Just at the close of eveningN
When the sunlight fades awayO
Little Henry he was dyingN
In his little crib he layO
With soft winds round him sighingN
From the morn till close of dayO
-
Parents brothers sisters weepingN
For their cup of sorrow's fullP
And his little playthings keepingN
That he thought so beautifulQ
Tears from parents' eyes were startingN
For their little loving oneR
Oh how painful was the partingN
From their little infant sonR
-
Oh how often have they kissed himS
And caressed his little browD
To his little voice have listenedT
But his place is vacant nowD
They called him little CharleyA
And his loving name they calledU
But they could not keep their darlingN
From the loving Savior's callV
-
But they must now cease their mourningN
His little soul is at restW
Where there can no storms of troubleQ
Roll across his peaceful breastW
Now his little form is sleepingN
In the cold and silent tombX
And his friends are left a weepingN
In his dear and loving homeY
-
It was the eleventh of DecemberG
Eighteen seventy was the yearZ
Kind friends will all rememberG
Silently let fall a tearA2
But we must not trouble borrowE
For the God of heaven is justB2
No one knows a parent's sorrowE
Till a child some friend have lostC2
