Little Blossom — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

Oh dear I`m so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don`t come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before I woke up she`d be home

She said she was going to see Grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And I guess my mommy`s feeling bad
And perhaps she won`t be home tonight

So I guess I`ll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It`s a great big store full of bottles
And I wish he wouldn`t go there anymore

So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
`Til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light

Oh daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music`s so sweet
But it`s almost suppertime daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat

A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair

A moment a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby`s left trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead
