A mother went out on a party
                          G7
She left at home her baby son
             C          F      C
He cried and begged her not to leave him
                  G7          C
But she would not give up her fun
                         F        C
She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him
                                G7
But would not heed his childish plea
              C       F       C
She heard him call as she was leaving
                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me

The mother joined the merrymakers
                              G7
And soon was lost in trifling joy
           C         F        C
The mellow tunes and flitting shadows
 G7 C
Made her forget her baby boy
                           F        C
She danced and laughed and did some drinking
                              G7
The world for her was full of glee
            C                F           C
But now and then these words would haunt her
                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me
                   F       C
She left the party feeling dizzy
                             G7
The smell of drinking on her breath
            C       F        C
She hurried home to find her baby
                   G7      C
In raging pain and nearing death
                    F         C
The doctor came and looked on sadly
                               G7
The case was hopeless he could see
         C          F      C
The baby died these words repeating
                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me
                   F          C
The mother now her life would forfeit
                         G7
To hear her baby's voice again
               C         F           C
She grieved to think she rudely left him
               G7     C
To satisfy her wishes vein
                  F            C
Now mothers don't neglect your duty
                           G7
This story should a lesson be
       C           F      C
Do not ignore your baby's pleading
                         G7        C
