Now come and bathe my forehead, mother

For I'm growing very weak

Give them all my toys, but Mother

Put my little shoes away

Please remember what I say

Give them all my toys, but Mother

With a lot of other things
      A        D          A
And I think he brought an angel

With a pair of golden wings

Then they'll fit his little feet

Oh, he'll look so nice an' sunny
               E        A
When he walks along the street
