[Verse 1]
A
In a room so lonely and cheerless, sits a woman all alone
D E/F E A
By her a cradle, stands empty and o'er it, she sobs and she moans
[Verse 2]
A
My husband, he no longer loves me, his love and our dear baby died
D E7 A
I'll leave him at home forever and 'thout him, this ole world abide
[Verse 3]
A
She packed baby's things in a bundle, while the tears rolled down her cheeks
D F E A
I never, no never, would leave him, if ever a kind word, he'd speak
[Verse 4]
A
Just then, the door softly was opened, a man took the bundle away
D E A
He layed the things out on the table and softly to her, he did say
[Verse 5]
A E/A E A
One little stockin' for you dear, one little blue shoe is for me
D B7 E

A E A
One lock of hair is for you dear, see how the golden curl shines
A D F E A/E B7 A A A
We'll keep a smile, while she sleeps for, she is the tie, that binds
