Oh dear, I'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she'd be home
She said she was going to see grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore
So out in the night went the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
Till her tired feet entered the dead palace
With mu sic, oh, radiant with life
Oh, daddy, she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost supper time, daddy
Little Blossom wants something to eat
Down into her face, sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair
A moment, a second was over
He lifted her fair golden hair
Oh mama, the baby's lips trembled
Then poor little Blossom was dead
