Mommy Please Stay Home With Me Lyrics - Hank Locklin

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 leaving 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 drinking the world for her was full of glee 

But now and then these words would haunt her please mommy please stay home with me 

[ piano ] 

She left the party feeling dizzy the smell of drink was on her breath 

She hurried home to find her baby in raging pain and nearly dead So doctor came and looked on sadly the case was hopeless he could see 

The baby dies 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 grieves to think she rudely left him to satisfy her wishes vain 

Now mothers don't neglect your duty the story should a lesson be 

Do not ignore your baby's pleading please mommy please stay home with me
