American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
HANG UP THE BABY'S STOCKING 
Hang tip the baby's stocking; Be sure you don't forget The dear little dimpled darling! She ne'er saw Christmas yet; But I've told her all about it And she opened her big blue eyes, And I'm sure she understood it, She looked so funny And wise. 
Dear! what a tiny stocking? It doesn't take much to hold Such little pink toes as baby's Away from the frost and cold; But then for the baby's Christmas It will never do at all; Why, Santa wouldn't be looking For anything half so small. 
I know what will do for the baby, I've thought of the very best planI'll borrow a stocking of grandma, The longest that ever I can; And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother, Right here in the corner, so' And write a letter to Santa, And fasten it on to the toe. -Write: " This is the baby's stocking That hangs in the corner here, You never have seen her, Santa, For she only came this year; But she's just the blessest baby-And now before you go, Just cram the stocking with goodies. From the top clean down to the toe."
