Lullaby 1919 'Angel Face'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 31 Aug 2004

I'm in wrong I clearly see,
things could not be worse;
this job is no place for me.
Now it's: "Good Night, Nurse."
Some girl ought to show me just
how to hold it right.
If it cries I s'pose I must
walk the floor all night.

Bye, bye baby,
close your eyes so blue.
Sleep then maybe
Papa can sleep too.
Dream on baby,
please forget to cry.
Papa's little angel face,
Bye, bye, bye.

Bye, bye, baby,
someone's future bride.
You will maybe
be his joy and pride.
Then O baby,
you'll keep some poor guy.
Paying for the things that you
Buy, buy, buy.

Babe, in twenty years or so,
you will be a peach;
then you'll know a lot of things
Papa can not teach.
College boys will follow you,
moths around a lamp.
Who can tell, perhaps you may
be a baby vamp.

Bye, bye baby,
close your eyes so blue.
Sleep then maybe
Papa can sleep too.
Dream on baby,
please forget to cry.
Papa's little angel face,
Bye, bye, bye.

Bye, bye, baby,
someone's future bride.
You will maybe
be his joy and pride.
Then O baby,
you'll keep some poor guy.
Paying for the things that you
Buy, buy, buy.
