Don't Go Out Tonight Dear Father



Don't go out tonight dear father

Don't refuse this once I pray

Tell your comrades mother's dying

Soon her soul will pass away

Tell them too, of little Willie

Him we also much do love

How his little form is drooping

Soon to bloom again above



Don't go out tonight dear father

Think oh think how sad twill be

When the angels come to take her

Father won't be there to see

Tell me that you love dear mother

Lying in that cold cold room

You don't love your comrades better

Cursing there in that saloon

Oh dear father do not leave us

Don't refuse this once I pray

When the angels come to take her

Father won't be there to see



Morning found the little pleader

Cold and helpless on the floor

Lying where he madly struck her

On that chilly night before

Lying there with hands uplifted

Feebly uttering words of prayer

Heavenly father please forgive him

Reunite us all up there
