Hank Thompson Little Blossom Lyrics:
Oh dear I'm so tired and so lonesome,
just waiting for Mommy to come.
She told me to close up my blue eyes,
and when I awoke she'd be home.
She said she was going to Grandma's
who live by the river so wide.
I'm afraid that my Mommy fell in there,
and she won't be home tonight.
So I believe I'll go out and find Daddy.
Perhaps he stopped in at the store.
'Tis a beautiful store filled with bottles
and I wish he would go there no more.
For when he comes home he's so sick.
He stumbles and falls on the stair.
I remember one night when he came home.
He kicked at my little red chair.
And Mommy was thrilled up and frightened.
She held me up close to her breast.
She called me her dear little Blossom
and I guess I've forgotten the rest.
So out in the night went the baby.

Her little heart beating with fright.
Her little tired feet reached the portals.
All shiny with radiant light.
And when she saw that she'd found him.
Her little voice rippled out sweet and clear.
Oh Daddy, I thought if I came I might find you.
And oh I'm so glad that you're here.
For a moment those red eyes gazed wildly,
down into a face pure and fair.
Then glancing at poor little blossom,
he picked up the back of a chair.
A flash and then it was all over.
A deed and a crime was complete
and poor little innocent blossom,
lie trembling and crushed at his feet.
He picked up her fair young body.
He lifted her fair golden head.
For a moment the baby's lips trembled.
Then poor little Blossom was dead.
Then in rushed the laws of Majestic.
They said with his life he must pay.
For only a fiend or a madman,
could have murdered a child in that way...
They rob you of friends and of neighbors
They'll lead you to perdition and woe.
But as long as they pay for their license,
the law will protect them I know.
