Just a baby’s gun at twilight
That dad forgot to stow
Her baby years have ended here
With the gun she found at twilight
Dad’s sad to know
His precious little tot
Picked up his gun and shot
After saying “Goodnight, Mama”
She climbed upstairs
Quite unaware
And said her prayer:
“Oh, kindly tell my daddy that he must take care”
That’s a baby’s prayer at twilight
From up in heav’n somewhere
