Hank Snow - The Answer to Little Blossom lyrics



THE ANSWER TO LITTLE BLOSSOM

(arr. Hank Snow)

« '58 Hill & Range Songs »

Oh dear I'm so sad and heart broken waiting in my prison cell

To be tried for the death of sweet blossom my baby that I loved so well

Last night as I drank in the barroom through the front door my little girl came

I watched as she slowly approached me and trembled as she spoke my name

My mind was wounded from drinking as I looked on her face sweet and fair

I thought that a demon approached me for I struck her down with my chair

In a flash with my reason returning in pride I looked down at my feet

And saw not the foam of a demon but my little blossom so sweet

I gathered her close to my bosom her life was fast fading away

Dear God I have murdered my baby and now with my life I must pay

I'm thinking tonight of that June day I walked down the aisle with my bride

When I promised to love and protect her she then was my joy and my pride

But soon I had started to drinking and now I've brought death to our home

Oh why must the innocence suffer and then reap just what they have sown

I pray to my Maker in Glory for this deed I might be forgiven

And I hope that the circle I broken will soon be mattered in heaven
