The Canadian Soldiers' Song Book/Mighty Like A Rose
63—MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE:
Sweetest li'l' feller,Ev'ry-body knows;Dun-no what to call 'im,But he mighty lak' a rose!Lookin' at his MammyWid eyes so shiny blue,Mek' you think that heav'nIs comin' clost ter you!
When he's dare a sleeping in his li'l' place,Think I see de Angels lookin through de laceWhen de dark is fallin, when de shadows creepThen they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleepChorus—Repeat 1st eight lines).
