Mighty Lak’ a Rose

Roses are so beautiful

And he’s just lak’ a rose

Sweetest little fellow

(Fellow)

Everybody knows

We don’t know what to call him

But he’s mighty lak’ a rose

When he’s looking at his mammy

With eyes so shiny blue

Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you

When he’s there a-sleeping in his little place

Think I see the angels looking through the lace

When the dark is falling

When the shadows creep

Then they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleep

Sweetest little fellow

(Fellow)

Everybody knows

We don’t know what to call him

But he’s mighty like a rose

When he’s looking at his mammy

(Mammy)

With eyes so shiny blue

Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you

(Heaven’s close to you)
