Little Pal

Little Pal, if Daddy Goes away

Promise you'll be good from day to day

Do as Mother says and never sin

Be the man your Daddy might have been

Your Daddy didn't have an easy start

So this is the wish that's in my heart

What I couldn't be, Little Pal

I want you to be, Little Pal

I want you to laugh and to sing and to play

And be good to Mother while Daddy's away

Each night how I'll pray, Little Pal

That you'll turn out right, Little Pal

So till we meet again

Heaven knows where or when

Pray for me now and then, Little Pal
