Mother Hold Me Tight - Kitty Wells

With her little rag doll clutched in her arms

She was crossing the street realizing no harm

And I was the driver, It’s sad but it’s true

Who killed that little girl, It could happen to you

With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay

That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day

I can hear it each day and all thru the night

That little girl pleading «Mother Hold Me Tight»

No charges were placed against me

unavoidable the report read

I did my best to stop

but the little girl she’s dead

God knows I’d gladly take her place if I only could

But that’s just wishful thinking and really does no good

No one will ever know, My prayer I can’t repeat

As I knelt beside that little girl

as she died there in the street

My life has been so darkened, At night I cannot sleep

For I dream about the little girl

I killed there in the street

With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay

That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day

I can hear it each day and all thru the night

That little girl pleading «Mother Hold Me Tight»
