lirik lagu roscoe holcomb - little bessie
hug me closer, closer mother
put your arms around me tight
for i am cold and tired, dear mother
and i feel so strong tonight
something hurts me here, dear mother
like a stone upon my breast
oh i wonder, wonder mother
why it is i cannot rest
all the day, while you were working
as i lay upon my bed
i was trying to be patient
and to think of what you’d said
how there came our blessed jesus
of his lambs to watch and keep
so i wish he would come and take me
in his arms that i might sleep
just before the lamps were lighted
just before the children came
while the room was very quiet
i heard someone call my name
all at once the window opened
on a field of lambs and sheep
some were at the brook a-drinking
some was lying fast asleep
in a moment i was looking
on a world so bright and fair
which was filled with little children
and they seemed so happy there
they were singing on, so sweetly
sweetest songs i ever heard
they were singing sweeter, mother
than our little yellow bird
but i could not see my savior
though i strained my eyes to see
then i wondered if he saw me
would he speak to such as me
all at once the window opened
on so bright upon me smiled
then i knew it must be jesus
when he says come here my child
come up here my little bessie
come up here and live with me
where little children never suffer
suffer through eternity
