Mother's Lament
Cream

Are we rollin'?

A one, a two, a three, a four


A mother was washin' her baby one night

The youngest of ten and a delicate mite

The mother was poor and the baby was thin

'T was naught but a skeleton covered with skin


The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack

She was only a moment but when she turned back

Her baby had gone, and in anguish, she cried

Oh, where has my baby gone? The angels replied



Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole

Oh, your baby has gone down the plug

The poor little thing was so skinny and thin

He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug


Your baby is perfectly happy

He won't need a bath anymore

He's a-muckin' about with the angels above

Not lost but gone before
