[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Of all the tragic scenes in life, [C] there's one I can't [G] forget _
The [C] memory of a [Em] little girl [A] still lingers with [D] me _ yet
[G] The sad remarks I heard her say [C] were more than I [G] could stand
[C] While she stood sadly _
[G] pleading, [D] holding her deaded [G] _
hand
_ _ Let me have another [C] look [G] at mother _
_ Daddy please, oh let me have just one more [D] _ _ look
_ _ Her [G] little heart was breaking, [C] her tears oh how she [G] _ cried
[C] For one last look at [G] _ mother, please [D] daddy please, she [G] cried
_ _ _ _ She _ didn't seem to _ understand [C] why mother had to [G] leave _
[C] Her blinding tears were [G] falling, [A] oh how my heart [D] did grieve
[G] Her little friends were standing by, [C] their hearts in sadness _ [G] spared
[C] Each time she called [G] to mummy, oh [D] please don't leave me [G] _ here _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Her daddy _ slowly picked her up [C] and whispered words [G] to her
[C] The sorrow he was [G] hiding was [Em] more than he [D] could _ bear
She [G] held him tightly in her arms, [C] these words I heard [G] her _ say
[C] Oh daddy, we [G] will miss her, [D] will she come back [G] someday? _ _ _
_ _ Let me have another [C] look at [G] mother
_ Daddy please, oh let me have just one more [D] _ look _ _ _
[G] Her little heart was breaking, _ [C] her tears oh how [G] she cried
[C] For one last look [G] at mother, [D] when they closed her [G] inside _ _
