Mommy Please Stay Home With Me

Mommy Please Stay Home

with Me - Eddy Arnold

A mother went out on a party

She left at home her baby son

He cried and begged her not to leave him

But she would not give up her fun

She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him

But would not heed his childish plea

She heard him call as she was leavin'

"Please mommy, please stay home with me."

The mother joined the merrymakers

And soon was lost in trifling joy

The mellow tunes and flitting shadows

Made her forget her baby boy

She danced and laughed and did some drinkin'

The world for her was full of glee

But now and then these words would haunt her

"Please mommy, please stay home with me."

She left the party feeling dizzy

The smell of drinking on her breath

She hurried home to find her baby

In raging pain and nearing death

The doctor came and looked on sadly

The case was hopeless, he could see

The baby died, these words repeating

"Please mommy, please stay home with me."

The mother now, her life would forfeit

To hear her baby's voice again

She grieved to think she rudely left him

To satisfy her wicked vain

Now mothers don't neglect your duty

This story should a lesson be

Do not ignore your baby's pleading

"Please mommy, please stay home with me."
