Mighty Lak' A Rose - Paul Robeson/Elisabeth Welch
Sweetest little fellow everybody knows
Don't know what to call him
But he's mighty lak' a rose
Lookin' at his mammy eyes so shiny blue
Make you think that heaven is comin' close to you
When he's there sleepin' in his little place
Think I see the angels lookin' through the lace
When the dark is fallin' when the shadows creep
Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep
Sweetest little fellow everybody knows
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty lak' a rose
Lookin' at his mammy eyes so shiny blue
Make you think that heaven is comin' close to you
When the dark is fallin' when the shadows creep
Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep
Sweetest little fellow everybody knows
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty lak' a rose
Lookin' at his mammy eyes so shiny blue
Make you think that heaven is comin' close to you
