Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one, when you play
Pay no heed what they say
Let your eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew all about you
They'd end up loving you, too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your hair down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But, you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine.
