[F] Hug me closer, closer mother Put your arms around me tight
and tired dear mother And I feel so strong tonight
dear mother Like a stone upon my breast
wonder mother Why it is I cannot rest
the lamps were lighted Just before the children came
was very quiet lit I heard someone call my name
window opened On a field of lambs and sheep
brook were drinking Some were lying fast asleep
and tired dear mother And I feel so strong tonight
dear mother Like a stone upon my breast
wonder mother Why it is I cannot rest
the lamps were lighted Just before the children came
was very quiet lit I heard someone call my name
window opened On a field of lambs and sheep
brook were drinking Some were lying fast asleep

_ [F] _ _ _ Hug me closer, closer mother Put your _ arms around me tight
For I'm cold and tired dear mother And _ I feel so strong tonight
_ Something hurts me here dear mother Like a stone upon my _ breast
Oh I _ wonder, wonder mother _ Why _ it is I cannot rest
_ Just before the lamps were _ lighted Just before the children _ came
While the room was very quiet lit I heard someone call my name
_ All at once the window opened _ On a field of lambs and sheep
_ Some far _ out in the brook were drinking _ Some _ were lying fast asleep
_ In _ a moment I was looking On a well so bright and _ fair
Which was filled with little children _ And they seemed so happy there
They were singing oh so _ sweetly Sweetest songs I'd ever _ heard
They were _ singing sweet mother _ Then our darling little bird
_ Come up here my little fessy Come up here and live with me
Where little _ children never suffer _ _ _ Suffer through eternity
_ Then I thought of all you told me Of that bright and happy land
High as gold when you called me When [C] you came and kissed [F] my hand
_ _ And the mother pressed her closer To her home near Burbank Res
_ On the _ heart so near it's breaking _ Lay the heart so near it's rest
At the solemn hour of midnight In the darkness come and be
Lying on her mother's _ bosom _ Little [C] Bessie [F] fell asleep
_ _ _ _ [N] _
