Air In the Cottage by the SeaA
-
-
Come listen to a painful storyA
A mother is going to tellB
For her heart is over flowingC
For that one she loved so wellB
It's of a little infant daughterD
Mild and lovely bright and fairE
She has left this world foreverD
Left this world of grief and careE
-
ChorusF
-
Alone all aloneG
In the grave yard she is sleepingC
That little one we loved so wellB
God her little soul is keepingC
For he doeth all things wellB
-
Oh how sadly we'll rememberD
On a bright and pleasant dayH
It was the very last of summerD
That her spirit fled awayH
Fled away from earth foreverD
Gone to dwell with Him aboveI
Where little angels dwell togetherD
In His everlasting loveI
-
Oh we miss our little MinnieA
With blue eyes and flaxen hairE
Oh we loved our little MinnieA
And we miss her every whereE
Yes we miss her at the tableJ
Every morning noon and nightK
While she sat with us togetherD
For she was our heart's delightK
-
On the twenty fifth of AugustL
Eighteen hundred and seventy threeA
God he called her then to leave usF
And a parting had to beA
As the day it was decliningC
The sun was down behind the treesM
Little Minnie she was dyingC
Her little soul it had to leaveN
-
Left this world of earthly troubleJ
And her friends that loved her dearO
Father mother sister brotherD
Her place with them is vacant hereP
Her little soul is at rest foreverD
In our Father's heavenly homeQ
Her little form is sweetly sleepingC
In the cold and silent tombR
-
Oh she was our eldest daughterD
She was handsome to beholdS
Every one that knew her loved herD
And her age was four years oldS
And we miss her merry laughterD
Through the house she used to roamQ
That little one we'll not forget herD
In our dear and loving homeQ
-
Oh how oft times we have kissed herD
And caressed her little formT
God of heaven knows we loved herD
From the day that she was bornU
On a day of independenceV
Eighteen hundred and sixty nineW
God he gave to us a presentX
Of that little girl so fineW
