Little Blossom Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome 

I wonder why mommy don't come 

She told me to shut up my blue eyes 

And before I woke up she'd be home 

She said she was going to see Grandma 

Who lives by the river so wide 

And I guess my mommy fell in there 

And perhaps she won't be home tonight 

So I guess I'll go down and meet daddy 

Perhaps he has stopped at the store 

It's a great big store full of bottles 

And I wish he wouldn't go there anymore

So out in the night with the baby 

Her little heart beating with pride 

'Til her tired feet entered the gin palace 

With music all radiant with light 

Oh daddy she cried as she reached him 

I think that the music's so sweet 

But it's almost suppertime daddy 

Little blossom wants something to eat 

A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly 

Down into her face sweet and fair 

And as the demon possessed him 

He grasped at the back of a chair 

Photos 

A moment a second was over 

He lifted her fair golden head 

A moment the baby's life trembled 

Then poor little blossom was dead
