_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Hug me _ closer, mother, closer
Put your _ arms around me tight
For I'm cold and tired, dear mother
_ And I feel so strange tonight _
_ _ _ _ Something _ hurts me here, dear mother
_ Like a scar _ upon my breast
And I wonder, mother, wonder
_ _ Why it is I cannot rest _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ All the day while you were working
And I lay _ upon my bed
I was _ trying to be patient _
_ And to think of what you said _ _
_ _ _ Just before the lamps were lighting
Just before the children _ came
While the room was very quiet
_ I heard someone call my name
Come _ _ _ _ _

up here, my little Bessie
Come up here and live with me
Where little _ children never suffer _ _
Through the long eternity _ _ _ _
_ _ In the _ silent hour of midnight
In the _ silence calm and deep
Lying _ on her mother's bosom
_ _ _ Little Bessie fell asleep _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Out yonder at the port
That our _ shiny Mary fell
_ Little _ Bessie now is true
_ _ By her Saviour's loving hand _ _ _ _ _ _
