Put My Little Shoes Away Lyrics

Artist: The Everly Brothers (Buy The Everly Brothers CDs)
Album: Songs Our Daddy Taught Us [Ace]

Mother dear come bathe my forehead
For I'm growing very weak
Mother let one drop of water
Fall upon my burning cheek
I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling
And remember what I say
Do this, won't you please, dear Mother
Put my little shoes away

Santa Claus, he brought 'em to me
With a lot of other things
I believe he brought an angel
With a pair of golden wings

Tell my lovin' little playmates
That I nevermore will play
Give them all my toys, but Mother
Put my little shoes away
I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling
And remember what I say
Do this, won't you please, dear Mother
Put my little shoes away

My mother use to sing this song to me when I was very young. Every time she sang it, I would cry. After awhile, she did not want to sing it anylonger, but I would beg, then cry again.
