《Baby Won’t You Please Come Home》歌词

[00:00:00] Child of the Engineer - Brook Benton (布鲁克·本顿)

[00:00:11] A little child on a sickbed lay

[00:00:22] And death was very near

[00:00:31] The parents' pride and the only child

[00:00:38] Of a railroad engineer

[00:00:49] His duty called him from those he loved

[00:00:57] And the house whose light was dimmed

[00:01:06] Ah the tears he shed to his Wife he said

[00:01:15] I will have two lanterns trimmed

[00:01:25] Just hang a light by my window tonight

[00:01:33] And hang it where it can be seen

[00:01:43] If our baby's dead just hang the red

[00:01:53] If she's better then hang the green

[00:02:05] In a little house by the railroad side

[00:02:14] A mother with watchful eye

[00:02:23] Saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile

[00:02:32] As the train went rushing by

[00:02:43] Just one short look was his only chance

[00:02:52] To see the light agleam

[00:03:01] In the midnight there arose a pray'r

[00:03:12] Thank My God light was green
