PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY Sung by: Mrs. Alice Isringhouse Recorded in Holly Grove, AR 6/15/59 Click here to listen to the original recording For I'm growing very weak. Let one drop of water, Mother, Fall upon my burning cheek. Tell my loving little playmates That I never more shall play. Give them all my toys but, Mother, Put my little shoes away. You will do this, won't you, Mother? Put my little shoes away. Give them all my toys but, Mother, Put my little shoes away. Santa Claus, he brought them to me With a lot of other things, And I think he brought an angel With a pair of golden wings. Soon the baby will be older, And they'll fit his little feet. Won't he look so handsome, Mother, When he walks upon the street? Also found in Randolph, Vol. IV, #715. |
