SONG:The Answer To Little Blossom

Oh dear i'm so sad and heart broken waiting in my prison cell
to be trialed for the death of sweet blossom my baby that i love so well
last night as i drank in the barroom through the front door my little girl came
i watched as she slowly approached me and trembled as she spoke my name
my mind was wounded from drinking as i looked on her face sweet and fair
i thought that a demon approached me for i strucked her down with my chair
in a flash with my reason returning in pride i looked down at my feet
and saw not the foam of a demon but my little blossom so sweet
i gathered her close to my bossom her laugh was fast fading away
dear god i have murdered my baby and now with my life i must pay
i'm thinking tonight of that june day i walked down isle with my bride
when i promised to love and protect her she then was my joy and my pride
but soon i had started to drinking and now i drop dead to our home
oh why must the innocence suffer and then reap just what they have sown
i pray to my maker in glory for this deed i might be forgiven
and i hope that the circle i broken will soon be mattered in heaven
