Baby’s Ring

1. Moth – er’s quite dis – tract – ed, Sis – ter’s in des – pair,

2. Sure – ly nev – er such a babe Made a moth – er glad;

3. When she comes to wo – man-hood, If she keeps so fair,

All the household is a – stir Search-ing ev – ’ry – where.

Nev – er such a dain – ty hand An – y ba – by had!

She will sure- ly wear the ring Maid – ens love

Ev – ’ry nook must be ex-plored, Ev – ’ry cor – ner scanned—

Small-est ring was ev – er made Off her fin – ger slips;

And lest she should lose it then, She’ll be wise and deep.

Ba – by’s lost the ti – ny ring From her lit – tie hand.

She should have a fair-y’s ring For such ro – sy tips.

She will give to somebod – y Ring and hand to keep.
