The Blind Child
Recorded by Hank Williams
Written by Ida B. Mercer 

C
Oh father tonight they say you are
   F           C
To wed another bride
     F                 C
That you will hold her in your arms
              G7     C
Where my dear mother died


They say her name is Mary too
    F              C
The name my mother bore
    F             C
But father is she kind and true
                G7      C
Like the one we loved before


And is her footstep soft and light
    F                 C
Her voice so meek and mild
    F             C
And father do you think she'll love
               G7       C
Your blind and helpless child


Oh father do not bid me come
   F                     C
To welcome your new-made bride
  F                   C
I could not greet her in the room
              G7     C
Where my dear mother died


But when I've cried myself to sleep
   F          C
As I so often do
  F             C
Into my chamber you may creep
            G7       C
My new made mama and you


He turned away to leave the room
  F              C
A joyful cry was given
   F                   C
He turned about and he knew at last
                    G7      C
His blind child had gone to Heaven


They buried her by her mother's side
    F                C
And erected a marble square
    F                       C
And there on the tomb these words do read
              G7       C
She'll not be blind up there
