Version 1
            C                 F    C
A mother went out on a party

                          G7
She left at home her baby son

             C          F      C
He cried and begged her not to leave him

                  G7          C
But she would not give up her fun

 
                         F        C
She kissed his cheek and tried to soothe him

                                G7
But would not heed his childish plea

              C       F       C
She heard him call as she was leaving

                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me

 
                  F        C
The mother joined the merrymakers

                              G7
And soon was lost in trifling joy

           C         F        C
The mellow tunes and flitting shadows

 G7 C
Made her forget her baby boy

 
                           F        C
She danced and laughed and did some drinking

                              G7
The world for her was full of glee

            C                F           C
But now and then these words would haunt her

                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me

 
                   F       C
She left the party feeling dizzy

                             G7
The smell of drinking on her breath

            C       F        C
She hurried home to find her baby

                   G7      C
In raging pain and nearing death

 
                    F         C
The doctor came and looked on sadly

                               G7
The case was hopeless he could see

         C          F      C
The baby died these words repeating

                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me

 
                   F          C
The mother now her life would forfeit

                         G7
To hear her baby's voice again

               C         F           C
She grieved to think she rudely left him

               G7     C
To satisfy her wishes vein

 
                  F            C
Now mothers don't neglect your duty

                           G7
This story should a lesson be

       C           F      C
Do not ignore your baby's pleading

                         G7        C
Please mommy please stay home with me
