Lyrics
Mother, daddy, oh so dearest,
I hate to say I'm onward bound.
You have treated me so kindly,
But I must go where my hope is found.
Little kitten oh so small,
How you lay down by my feet.
Will you lay down by another's,
When I am gone down to sleep?
My hummingbird, oh so fierce,
Are the flowers still sweet to sip?
I hear your buzz pleasant to the ears.
But not for long and away you zip.
King of kings, oh prince of peace
My path made clear by the One I speak
For though I've sinned and I've been tried,
I will soon go to whom I seek.
Dearest Darling, oh loving babe,
We may not meet till another day.
But I will miss your pretty brown eyes,
Will you miss me by your side?
