From the sheet music at the Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY
Words, Samuel N. Mitchell. Music, Charles E. Pratt.
Boston : C.H. Ditson & Co., 1873.

1. Mother dear, come bathe my forehead, for I'm growing very weak.
Mother, let one drop of water fall upon my burning cheek.
Tell my loving little schoolmates that I never more will play.
Give them all my toys but, Mother, put my little shoes away.

CHORUS: I am going to leave you, Mother, so remember what I say:
Oh! do it, won't you, please, dear Mother: put my little shoes away.

2. Santa Claus, he gave them to me, with a lot of other things,
And I think he brought an angel with a pair of golden wings.
Mother, I will be an angel by perhaps another day,
So, you will then, dearest Mother, put my little shoes away.

3. Soon the baby will be larger, then they'll fit his little feet.
Oh! he'll look so nice and cunning when he walks along the street.
Now I'm getting tired, Mother. Soon I'll say to all good day.
Please remember what I tell you: put my little shoes away.
