Come listen to a painful storyB
A mother is going to tellC
For her heart is over flowingD
For that one she loved so wellC
It's of a little infant daughterE
Mild and lovely bright and fairF
She has left this world foreverE
Left this world of grief and careF
-
ChorusG
-
Alone all aloneH
In the grave yard she is sleepingD
That little one we loved so wellC
God her little soul is keepingD
For he doeth all things wellC
-
Oh how sadly we'll rememberE
On a bright and pleasant dayI
It was the very last of summerE
That her spirit fled awayI
Fled away from earth foreverE
Gone to dwell with Him aboveJ
Where little angels dwell togetherE
In His everlasting loveJ
-
Oh we miss our little MinnieB
With blue eyes and flaxen hairF
Oh we loved our little MinnieB
And we miss her every whereF
Yes we miss her at the tableK
Every morning noon and nightL
While she sat with us togetherE
For she was our heart's delightL
-
On the twenty fifth of AugustM
Eighteen hundred and seventy threeB
God he called her then to leave usG
And a parting had to beB
As the day it was decliningD
The sun was down behind the treesN
Little Minnie she was dyingD
Her little soul it had to leaveO
-
Left this world of earthly troubleK
And her friends that loved her dearP
Father mother sister brotherE
Her place with them is vacant hereQ
Her little soul is at rest foreverE
In our Father's heavenly homeR
Her little form is sweetly sleepingD
In the cold and silent tombS
-
Oh she was our eldest daughterE
She was handsome to beholdT
Every one that knew her loved herE
And her age was four years oldT
And we miss her merry laughterE
Through the house she used to roamR
That little one we'll not forget herE
In our dear and loving homeR
-
Oh how oft times we have kissed herE
And caressed her little formU
God of heaven knows we loved herE
From the day that she was bornV
On a day of independenceW
Eighteen hundred and sixty nineX
God he gave to us a presentY
Of that little girl so fineX
