I'm looking for the source to a lullaby I remember from the 1940s or 1950s:

Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows, Don't know what to call him, but he's mighty like a rose. Looking at his Mammy, with eyes so shining blue, Makes you feel like Heaven is looking down on you.

And when he is sleeping, in his little bed...

That's all I remember. Anyone know about it? I'd like to use it in something to be published, and need to source it appropriately.

Thanks!
