Mother Hold Me Tight Songtext

von Roy Acuff

With her little rag doll clutched in her arms
She was crossing the street realizing no harm
And I was the driver, It's sad but it's true
Who killed that little girl, It could happen to you
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading "Mother Hold Me Tight"
No charges were placed against me
Unavoidable the report read
I did my best to stop
But the little girl she's dead
God knows I'd gladly take her place if I only could
But that's just wishful thinking and really does no good
No one will ever know, My prayer I can't repeat
As I knelt beside that little girl
As she died there in the street
My life has been so darkened, At night I cannot sleep
For I dream about the little girl
I killed there in the street
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading "Mother Hold Me Tight"
