Roscoe Holcomb - Little Bessie lyrics

Artist: Roscoe Holcomb

album: The High Lonesome Sound


Hug me close, closer, dear 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
So I wonder, wonder mother
Why it is I cannot rest
All the day as you were working
And I lay upon my bed
I was trying to be patient
And to think of what you said
How the King, Blessed Jesus
Loves His lambs to watch and keep
Oh, 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 a window opened
On a field of lambs and sheep
Some were out were in a brook 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 oh so sweetly
Sweetest song I ever heard
They were singing, sweeter mother
Than our little own birds
But I could not see my Savior
Though I strained my eyes to see
And I wonder if He saw me
Would He speak to such as me
All at once a window opened
One so bright upon me smiled
And I knew it must be Jesus
It's when He said "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
