《Mommy Please Stay Home With Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Mommy, Please Stay Home With Me - Eddy Arnold/Henry Whitter/Clayton McMichen

[00:00:05] A mother went out on a party

[00:00:11] She left at home her baby son

[00:00:16] He cried and begged her not to leave him

[00:00:22] But she would not give up her fun

[00:00:27] She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him

[00:00:33] But would not heed his childish plea

[00:00:38] She heard him call as she was leavin'

[00:00:44] Please mommy please stay home with me

[00:00:51] The mother joined the merrymakers

[00:00:56] And soon was lost in trifling joy

[00:01:02] The mellow tunes and flitting shadows

[00:01:07] Made her forget her baby boy

[00:01:13] She danced and laughed and did some drinkin'

[00:01:18] The world for her was full of glee

[00:01:24] But now and then these words would haunt her

[00:01:30] Please mommy please stay home with me

[00:01:41] She left the party feeling dizzy

[00:01:47] The smell of drinking on her breath

[00:01:53] She hurried home to find her baby

[00:01:58] In raging pain and nearing death

[00:02:04] The doctor came and looked on sadly

[00:02:10] The case was hopeless he could see

[00:02:15] The baby died these words repeating

[00:02:21] Please mommy please stay home with me

[00:02:27] The mother now her life would forfeit

[00:02:32] To hear her baby's voice again

[00:02:38] She grieved to think she rudely left him

[00:02:43] To satisfy her wicked vain

[00:02:49] Now mothers don't neglect your duty

[00:02:55] This story should a lesson be

[00:03:01] Do not ignore your baby's pleading

[00:03:06] Please mommy please stay home with me
