Mommy Please Say Home With Me Lyrics

MOMMY PLEASE SAY HOME WITH ME

Writers Eddy Arnold, Wally Fowler, Graydon J. Hall



A mother went out on a party She left at home her baby son He cried and begged
her not to leave him But she would not give up her fun. She kissed his cheek
and tried to soothe him But would not heed his childish plea She heard him call
as she was leavin' "Please mommy, please stay home with me." The
mother joined the merrymakers And soon was lost in trifling joy The mellow
tunes and flitting shadows Made her forget her baby boy. She danced and laughed
and did some drinkin' The world for her was full of glee But now and then these
words would haunt her "Please mommy, please stay home with me." She
left the party feeling dizzy The smell of drinking on her breath She hurried
home to find her baby In raging pain and nearing death. The doctor came and
looked on sadly The case was hopeless, he could see The baby died, these words
repeating "Please mommy, please stay home with me." The mother now,
her life would forfeit To hear her baby's voice again She grieved to think she
rudely left him To satisfy her wicked vain. Now mothers don't neglect your duty
This story should a lesson be Do not ignore your baby's pleading "Please
mommy, please stay home with me."
