A mother went out on a party She left at home a baby son He cried and begged her not to leave him But she would not give up her fun She kissed his check and tried to soothe him But she denied his childish plea The baby cried as she was leaving Please mommy please, stay home with me 
The mother joined the merrymakers And soon was lost in fun and joy The mellow tunes and fleeting shadows Made her forget her baby boy She laughed and danced while she was drinking The world to her was fancy free But now and then these words would haunt her Please mommy please, stay home with me 
She left the party feeling dizzy The smell of drink was on her breath She hurried home to find her baby In a raging pain nearing death The doctor came and looked on sadly The case was hopeless he could see The baby died, these words repeating Please mommy please, stay home with me 
So mommies don’t neglect your children This story should a lesson be Do not ignore your baby’s pleading Please mommy please, stay home with me
