I ask the kid ‘How are you, my love?’ ‘Oh my Mama is gone My Daddy is busy I play, eat and sleep And pray I pray it’s my secret Don’t tell I pray for my Pa And my Ma I want both I want my Mom to feed me To put me to sleep I want my Pa to wake me Give me my morning milk Don’t you tell But that’s what I pray I pray when I’m alone I close my eyes and open them I look at God and I pray To make me a good boy And to make my Mom And my Daddy happy!
