Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Will the Angels Let Me Play? From: GUEST,GreyGhost Date: 15 Jul 15 - 01:09 AM Here's how I remember it: In a yard where little children Were playing games one day A little lad on crutches Was watching wistfully It seemed so hard he could not play As the other children do They said that he would spoil their games And he was a baby, too. (Chorus) When I go to heaven mama Will the angels let me play? Because I am a cripple Will they say I'm in the way? Here the children never want me I'm a bother they all say When I go to heaven mama Will the angels let me play? I wish that daddy would come home Before I go to sleep Just tell him how I waited For his kisses on my cheek That night while all was silent The angels came that way And took him up to heaven Where he won't have to say Chorus And when he got to heaven The angels let him play They gave him golden slippers And he wasn't in the way And when his mama got there He had these words to say When I got to heaven mama The angels let me play Chorus I remember hearing this song as recorded by my aunt's family from Virginia back in the 70's. Now I'm singing it to my daughter as I rock her before bed. She's healthy, but just want to teach her about God's healing power when we go to heaven. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Will the Angels Let Me Play? From: GUEST Date: 16 Apr 14 - 09:40 AM This song I remember very well. My mom sang it to me. Here are the words...
A little girl sat sadly, watching as they played. She asked them if she could play too, but they said she'd spoil their fun. The little girl went home to tell her troubles to... (Chorus) mommy when I go to heaven, will the angels let me play? Or will they say I'd spoil their fun, and am I baby too? Mommy when I go to heaven, will the angels let me play? Or will they say I'd spoil their fun and Am a baby too. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WILL THE ANGELS LET ME PLAY? (from Britt) From: Jim Dixon Date: 26 Dec 13 - 10:48 PM Note that, compared to the original sheet music, this version has the same number of lines, but the two 6-line verses have been rearranged as three 4-line verses. WILL THE ANGELS LET ME PLAY? As recorded by Elton Britt, 1948. 1. In a yard where children were playin' games one day, A little lad on crutches was watching wistfully. It seemed so hard he could not play as other children do. They said that he would spoil the game, and was a baby, too. CHORUS: "When I go to heaven, Mama, will the angels let me play? Because I am a cripple, will they say I'm in the way? Here the children never want me. I'm a bother, they all say. When I go to heaven, Mama, will the angels let me play?" 2. His tender heart is breaking, for they won't let him play, As he goes to his mama, she hears him softly say: "I'm so tired, dear Mama," then bows his little head, "Please rock me just a little, and then tuck me to bed. 3. I wish that daddy would come home before I go to sleep Tell him how I waited for his kiss upon my cheek." That night when all was silent, the angels came that way, And took him up to heaven where he won't have to say: CHORUS |

Subject: RE: Lyrics: Will the angels let me play? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 08 Oct 05 - 02:47 PM When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it would be about the spoons, bodhran, banjo or accordion. Of course, in heaven we will get to play whatever we want. My theology provides for a separate section in heaven for fiddles. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WILL THE ANGELS LET ME PLAY? From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Oct 05 - 08:11 PM Here are the original lyrics, from Indiana University Sheet Music Collections: WILL THE ANGELS LET ME PLAY? Words, W L Werden; Music, Fred E Gladdish; 1905. 1. In a yard where children were playing games one day, A little tot so lonely was watching wistfully. It seemed so hard she could not play as other children do. They said that she would spoil the games, and was a baby, too. Her tender heart is breaking, for they won't let her play, And as she goes to Mama, she murmurs plaintively: CHORUS: "Mama, when I go to heaven, will the angels let me play? Just because I am so little, will they say I'm in the way? Here the children never want me. I'm a bother, they all say. When I go to heaven, mama, will the angels let me play?" 2. "I'm so tired, dear Mama," the little darling said, "Please rock me just a little, and then put me to bed. I wish that papa would come home before I go to sleep Just tell him how I waited for his kiss upon my cheek." One night when all was silent, the angels came that way, And took the little darling whose sweet lips seemed to say: CHORUS * * * [However, it looks like the folk process got hold of it before George Morgan recorded it. Here's an excerpt of his version, which he recites over background music:] ...kids wouldn't let him play. And as he hobbled to his mom on his crutches, with his eyes full of tears, She heard her little crippled boy say: "Gosh, Mommy, I'm so awfully tired." And then he bowed his little head. "Won't you rock me just a little bit, Mom, before I have to go to bed? And gee, how I wish that Daddy would come home...." [Recorded by George Morgan on "Candy Kisses," Bear Family BCD 15851, 1996. Also by Elton Britt on "Beyond the Sunset," ABC 322, 1960.] |

Subject: RE: Lyrics: Will the angels let me play? From: Lohouse8@aol.com Date: 13 Dec 97 - 09:39 PM The title if I remember correctly is in fact "When I Go to Heaven Mama, Will the Angels Let Me Play". Remember hearing it sung during the period 1946-47 on country music radio. I believe Eddy Arnold had a recording of it that received a lot of air play at that time. Will look through my stuff and see if I can come up with a lyric. |
Subject: Lyrics: Will the angels let me play? From: paschals@aol.com Date: 13 Dec 97 - 05:47 PM There is a song I vaguely remember, and I can't find it in the database. It is about a little boy who had some sort of physical handicap (I think he couldn't walk?) and would watch the other children playing outside the window. I think one line might have been something along the lines of "When I die and go to heaven, will the angels let me play?" If anyone knows the name or lyrics to the song and could help me identify it, I would appreciate the help. Thanks- paschal |
