Lyrics
VERSE 1
A little baby wrote, a little baby note
To her daddy who had gone away
He knew the writing well, he taught her how to spell,
So she could write him letters ev’ry day
He could hardly wait until they came
Each message that she sent would read the same
REFRAIN
If you like me, like I like you you must be lonesome too,
Mama’s sad she needs you dad
You’re little baby’s blue
My playmates seem to have their daddy, both night and day
They always ask me why you’re away
If you like me, like I like you
Then you’ll come back some day day
VERSE 2
A little baby’s eyes, have grown to twice their size
She sees someone standing by the door
She breaths a happy sigh, for joy she starts to cry,
And soon she’s in her daddy’s arms once more
After years they both recall the way
She wrote her daddy letters ev’ry day
REFRAIN
