_ _ _ _ _ _ Welcome friends and neighbors.
We're proud to be here with you again this morning.
Let's go back this morning and get one of the old, old times.
_ I think this is about one of the first songs I ever learned.
Here's to [C] _
a blind child. _ _ _
Oh father _ tonight _ they say you are [F] to _ wed _ _ _ [C] another bride _ _ _ that [F] you will _ hold [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ for my _ _ dear mother. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ They say her _ name is _ _ Mary too, [F] the _ name my _ [Bb] mother [C] _
bore.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ But father _ _ is [C] she _ kind and true like the [G] one we _ _ loved [C]
before?
_ _ _ _ _ And is her _ _ footsteps _ soft and light, [F] her _ voice so _ [C] meek and loud?
_ _ _ _ [F] And _ father do _ you [C] _
think she'll love your _ [G] blind and _ helpless [C] _
child?
_ _ _ _ Oh _ father do _ not bid _ me come _ [F] to welcome your [Dm] new [C] made bride.
_ _ _ _ I [F] could _ not greet _ [C] her _ in the room where [G] my _ dear _ mother [C] _
died.
_ _ _ _ But when I've cried _ _ _ myself _ _ [Gb] _ [C] _ [F] as _ I [Bb] _ _ _ [C] soften do,
_ [Am] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ through my _ _ chamber [C]
you _ may creep.
_ My [G] new made [D] mama, _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ he _ turned away _ to leave _ the room.
_ [Bb] A _ joyful _ cry [C] was given, _ _ _ _ _ [F] he _ turned _ _ [C] about and he _ knew at last _ [G] his _ blind child had _ [D] gone [C]
to heaven.
_ _ _ _ They buried her _ by her _ _ [B] [Gm] mother's _ side [F] and _ erected a _ [Bb] marble [C]
square.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
And there on the tomb [C] these _ words do read, [G] she'll _ not be _ blind up [C] there. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's an old, old time for the blind child.
Right now here's Cousin Louie Buck with a word about the best flower there is, mother's best.
