Bonnie Father
O father, dear father
The clock in come home with me now
the strople striken one:
ou said you wer were coming TIMI
You shop ink right home from the
As moot a your day’s work was done,
The fire’s gone out, the house in ult cold,
And mother’s been waiting witce ten
With poor little Hennie so sick in her urma,
And no one to help her but me

Chorus:
Oh, hear the sweet voice of the child
Which the night winds rerent
Oh, who could resist this most they roam: most plaintive of
Please, father, dear father, come home prayers,

Oh, father, dear father, come home with me now
The clock in the streple strikes two;
The night has grown colder and Bennie is worse,
But he has been calling for you
Indeed he is worse-ma says he will die
Perhaps before morning shall dawn
And this is the message she sent me to bring:
Come quickly or he will be gone

Oh, father, dear father, come home with me now,
The clock in the steeple strikes three;
The night is so lonely, the hours are so long
For poor weeping another and me
Yes, we are alone, voor Bennie is dead,
And gone with the angels of light
And these were the very last words that he said:
“I want to kiss papa good night”
