Mother tucks baby
away for the night,
She thinks that baby
is sleeping so tight,
Baby closes little eyes
waits for ma to leave, she's wise,
Then she jumps right out
from her trundle bed
takes rag baby doll
holds her tight
all her might
singing as she says, goodnight

Little rag baby,
little rag baby,
toddle along,
just learn to toddle along,
Out of the cradle,
thro' with the cradle
waddle along
oh baby waddle along,
made of old saw dust
made of old rags,
dresses and tresses
of paper bags
all that you cost
was coupons and tags,
Little Rag Baby Doll.

Little rag baby,
little rag baby,
toddle along,
just learn to toddle along,
Out of the cradle,
thro' with the cradle
waddle along
oh baby waddle along,
made of old saw dust
made of old rags,
dresses and tresses
of paper bags
all that you cost
was coupons and tags,
Little Rag Baby Doll.

Baby says dolly,
you've had many knocks,
You've but to sleep
on my old wooden blocks
Hush now, dolly go to sleep
soon my ma will take a peep.
Sawdust is starting
to come from your side,
dolly I must tell
my dear ma, she'll tell pa,
you need a doctor
you're not well.

Little rag baby,
little rag baby,
toddle along,
just learn to toddle along,
Out of the cradle,
thro' with the cradle
waddle along
oh baby waddle along,
made of old saw dust
made of old rags,
dresses and tresses
of paper bags
all that you cost
was coupons and tags,
Little Rag Baby Doll.

Little rag baby,
little rag baby,
toddle along,
just learn to toddle along,
Out of the cradle,
thro' with the cradle
waddle along
oh baby waddle along,
made of old saw dust
made of old rags,
dresses and tresses
of paper bags
all that you cost
was coupons and tags,
Little Rag Baby Doll.
