Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
C G
Oh, dear, I'm so tired and so lonesome
C
I wonder why Mama don't come
F
She told me to close my pretty blue eyes
G C
And when I awoke, she'll be home
[Verse 2]
C G
I guess I'll go out and find Papa
C
He must've stopped in at the store
F
That great long room filled with bottles
G C
I wish he would go there no more
[Verse 3]
C G
Sometimes he's so sick when he comes home
C
He staggers and falls on the stairs
F
And once when he came in the parlor
G C
He kicked at my poor little chair
[Verse 4]
C G
But I love him, I guess I'll go find him
C
I know he will gladly come home
F
And then it won't be so lonesome
G C
Waiting for Mama to come
[Break]

[Verse 5]
C G
"Oh, Daddy," she cried when she reached him
C
Her voice ringing out sweet and clear
F
I knew if I come, I would find you
G C
And now I am glad I am here
[Verse 6]
C G
For a moment, the red eyes gazed wildly
C
Into that face sweet and fair
F
And just as a demon possessed him
G C
He grabbed for the back of a chair
[Verse 7]
C G
In a moment, the whole thing was over
C
The work of his deed was complete
F
And poor little innocent Blossom
G C
Lay quivering and crushed at his feet
[Verse 8]
C G
He clasped a bright arm to his bosom
C
And fondled her sweet curly hair
F
For a moment, the baby's lips trembled
G C
And then little Blossom was dead
