Don't Go Out Tonight, Dear Father Don't go out tonight dear father Don't refuse this once I pray Tell your comrades mother's dying Soon her soul will pass away Tell them too, of little Willie Him we also much do love How his little form is drooping Soon to bloom again above Don't go out tonight dear father Think oh think how sad twill be When the angels come to take her Father won't be there to see Tell me that you love dear mother Lying in that cold cold room You don't love your comrades better Cursing there in that saloon Oh dear father do not leave us Don't refuse this once I pray When the angels come to take her Father won't be there to see Morning found the little pleader Cold and helpless on the floor Lying where he madly struck her On that chilly night before Lying there with hands uplifted Feebly uttering words of prayer Heavenly father please forgive him Reunite us all up there see also Don't Go in Them Lion's Cage Tonight!, Miner's Child's Dream BR
