I'm SORRY FOR THE FELLOW
THAT HASN'T GOT A MOTHER
Ito Our Little Boy at Honey

J ~ Oui LltblC ivy at flOiHC'I
A fellow lives just cross the street
His mother died today,
And when | saw him crying so
! | had to run away;
And there were folks and carriages,
And loads of flowers, too, ~
But he cried and called his mother so
1t made me awful blue.
A great big lump rose in my throat.
| Which turned into a tear,
When | thought how | would feel
If twas little mother" dear
That laid there awful white and still,
And could not smile, or see
The lovelight gone from her sweet
That just look love at me.
con, gee | felt so sorry for
That boy whose mother died
don't care what you think of me
just sat down and cried.)
For when night comes and you get
scared
At things all in the air,
A creepin' at your back and heels,
And straight up goes your hair;
You sneak as fast as you can sneak,
And crawl in mothers bed,
And when you nestle close to her
You find the spooks have fled.
And when her warm lips touch your
face,
And round you's her soft arm,
Why then you fall so sound asleep,
For, of course, you're safe from
harm.
There never was a spook would dare
To hurt my mother sure,
For she's all right, I'll tell you that,
So good, so sweet and pure.
(Oh, gee! But | am so sorry
For the boy across the way,
Who amt got any mother dear,
For they buried her today.)
My mother is jolly chum,
And when I'm lonesome plays
Just any kind Of boys game,
For she's used to boys ways;
She don't scold much when l come in
With clothes not very neat,
But says boys will get rips and snags
And forget to clean their feet.
Then she keeps all the stuff you
need
Corks, hooks and bags of string;
And when you go fishing
Why she's got just everything
Sometimes you get an itching back,
Way UP where you can't reach,
Then mothers soft hand finds the
place
Oh mother, she's a peach!
(Oh, gee! | feel so sorry
For that boy just cross the way,
Who hasn't any mother,
For they buried her today)

During the sixteenth and seventeenth
