Kiss Away Her Baby Tears

Kiss Her Baby Tears Away

My dolly was thrown
Down on the hard ground
She laid there listless
While the kids crowded round.

They laughed and jeered
That my dolly was thrown down
They thought it was funny
That she was on the ground.

Then a big brave boy
Came forward from the crowd
He picked up my dolly
Off the dirty ground.

He looked around
At the jeering crowd
This is what he said
In a voice that was loud.

"This might be just a dolly
That you flung to the ground
But this is her baby
That she keeps safe and sound.

When the day comes
That a real baby is around
Would you, in a fit of anger
Fling her to the ground?

Or if you were present
And witnessed such a sight
Would you laugh and jeer
Or do what is right?"

He passed me my dolly
So gentle and sweet
And looked at the crowd
Moving on down the street.

"Take your dolly, hold her near
Kiss away her baby tears
Hug her oh so very tight
Love her with all your might.
