Crying, My Little One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary?
Fall asleep, pretty one, warm on my shoulder..
I must tramp on through the winter night dreary,
While the snow falls on me colder and colder.
You are my one, and I have not another;
Sleep soft, my darling, my trouble and treasure;
Sleep warm and soft in the arms of your mother,
Dreaming of pretty things, dreaming of pleasure.
