Baby mine don't you cry Baby mine dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part baby of mine Little one when you play Don't you mind what they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear baby of mine If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they'd give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You're not much goodness knows But you're so precious to me Sweet as can be baby of mine
