I was a lovin' baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin' one

Before the time I knew your face dear
I was doing very well
If I never knew your kisses
I'd never known that I'd been in hell

If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
I will be your lovin' one

Once upon a winter time
I lost Christmas in my mind
I looked through all the windows 'round
To find a star I hadn't found

Then all at once before I knew
Christmas froze my soul in two
A cryful night I had a dream
And saw a place I'd never seen

If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin' one

I was a lovin' baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Oh, be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin' one
