Baby Brother
written by Vaughn Horton

Bet you'll get a great big kick 
From this letter to Saint Nick,
Written by the cutest little girl
And this is what she wrote, quote:

Santa Claus, dear Santa Claus,
I am writing you because
I'm a little girl you see
and need someone to play with me.

I still have my last year's doll
So I don't need another,
But if it's all the same to you,
Bring me a baby brother.

I have everything I need:
Dresses, games, and toys.
Santa, listen to me, please,
We are really short on boys!

Santa Claus, dear Santa Claus,
Don't tell Dad or Mother,
For I want them to be surprised
When they see my baby brother.

"Vaughn" Horton is in the Country Music Songwriter Hall of Fame for having written over 1,000 songs, his brother Roy Horton was a founding member of the Country Music Association (CMA) and served as the president of the Country Music Foundation. Roy later was inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

George Vaughn Horton was born June 5, 1911 in Broad Top, Pennsylvania, one of eleven children in a coal mining family. He seemed destined for that life as well, if his passion for music had not had not offered him an alternative. In fact, Horton was working in a mine at the same time as he was finishing high school, when he composed his first memorable song, "Mockin' Bird Hill."

Vaughn Horton, along with his younger brother Roy, formed a group called the Pinetoppers, which was making appearances on Philadelphia radio by the early 1930s. Vaughn moved to New York in 1935 and kept the Pinetoppers together, even as he landed a job playing steel guitar in the WNEW house band.
