Subject: Little Boy Blue-Folk?Religious
I'm trying to find more info. on this song.

"My heart once was happy as I sang on my way,
With my Little Boy Blue by my side.
He cheered me along with his laughter so gay,
'Til... "

"Then one lonely night, while the world slumbered deep,
An angel came down from the sky,
He picked up my baby and rocked him to sleep,
And sailed him to sweet paradise."

etc.

I believe the chorus is something like:

"As my Little Boy Blue, closed his eyes and went to sleep,
He prayed the Lord his soul to keep,
And then he closed his big...eyes, and sailed to paradise,
As (And) my Little Boy Blue went to sleep."
