Put My Little Shoes Away

Mother dear come bathe my forehead



For I'm growing very weak



Mother let one drop of water



Fall upon my burning cheek



I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling



And remember what I say



Do this, won't you please, dear Mother



Put my little shoes away







Santa Claus, he brought 'em to me



With a lot of other things



I believe he brought an angel



With a pair of golden wings







Tell my lovin' little playmates



That I nevermore will play



Give them all my toys, but Mother



Put my little shoes away



I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling



And remember what I say



Do this, won't you please, dear Mother



Put my little shoes away
