PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY
The Everly Brothers


Mother dear, come bathe my forehead 
for I'm growing very weak 
Mother, let one drop of water 
fall upon my burning cheek 

Chorus: 
I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling 
and remember what I say 
Do this won't you please dear Mother 
Put my little shoes away 

Santa Claus, he brought them to me 
with a lot of other things 
I believe he brought an angel 
with a pair of golden wings 

Repeat chorus 

Tell my loving little playmates 
that I never more will play 
Give them all my toys, but Mother 
Put my little shoes away 

Repeat chorus
