Precious little children-what can I do?
Someday they'll remember-what I told you

Did it together just you and me
Without a man in this family

I didn't raise them-it's you they love
They will remember the things you've done

Sometimes I felt that I've lost my mind
Things didn't work out the way we planned

And when they grow up and they make good
They will repay what I owe to-

You'll-be taken care of
And they'll-remember you-
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
You-will never want for more

When they grow up they'll be kind and smart
And you will see that they'll all go far
I haven't long but I know it's true
These little ones owe a lot to-

You'll-be taken care of
And they'll-remember you-
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
You-will never want for more

You'll be taken care of-they'll remember you
Someday they will give you-things I never could
You'll be taken care of-on that you can be sure
If there's any justice in this world you'll never want for more

Someday-I promise you
Remember-what I say is true
Someday-I promise you
Remember-what I say is true
