That Little Boy of Mine
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
His cheeks just like a rose.
So sweet from head to toe
That little boy of mine.
He's all the world to me
He climbs upon my knee
To me he'll always be
That little boy of mine.
No one will ever know,
Just what his coming has been.
Because I love him so
He 's something heaven has sent.
A tiny turned up nose.
His cheeks just like a rose.
So sweet from head to toe
That little boy of mine.
No one will ever know,
Just what his coming has been.
Because I love him so
He 's something heaven has sent.
He's all the world to me
He climbs upon my knee
To me he'll always be
That little boy of mine...
