Hank Snow - Put My Little Shoes Away Lyrics

Mother dear, come bathe my forehead

For I'm growing very weak

Mother, let one drop of water

Fall upon my burnin' cheek

Tell my loving, little playmates

That I never more shall play

Give them all my toys but, Mother

Put my little shoes away



(You will do this, Mother, won't you)

(Put my little shoes away)

Give them all my toys but, Mother

Put my little shoes away



Santa Claus, he brought them to me

With a lot of other things

And I think he brought an angel

With a pair of golden wings

Mother, soon I'll be an angel

By, perhaps, another day

So if you will, my dearest Mother

Put my little shoes away



(You will do this, Mother, won't you)

(Put my little shoes away)

Give them all my toys but, Mother

Put my little shoes away
