lyrics

O little girl you must beware
That man is bad you must take care
He talks of sweets and pretty things
He buys you ribbons buys you rings
He holds your hand and combs your hair
But little girl I said beware

His eyes are cold and hands are cracked
Your delicate frame he has tracked
For forty days and forty nights
And led you far from burning lights
Into the dark were you can’t see
The nature of this type of beast

O Little girl I’m coming soon
Beneath the quiv’ring silver moon
Steal you away into the night
I’ll hide you well and we’ll take flight
I’ll hold your hand and comb your hair
And you shall have no want or care

I love you O my child of God
I am His staff, I am His rod
I am the Shepard, you’re the lamb
And I shall lead your little hand
To brighter days and we shall be
Two happy souls just you and me

But some days I may draw the shades
And I’ll need your arms around me
But some days I may draw the shades
And I’ll need your lips upon me
To comfort me through life’s hard blows
My shield from grief and raining woes

Forgive me all these liberties
And do not feel so ill at ease
For I have done so much for you
I know you know my heart is true
Tears on your cheeks soft as dew
But don’t you cry my heart is true
