Baby sister hold on
Don't know
what to do
as mama takes you
away in a hurry
You were screaming
in bitter agony
All I could do
was fight my tears
and hold you shaking hand
I'm sorry, baby sister
I don't know
what is wrong
with you
Just hold on
the doctor will come
he will make you better
I promise you now
that you'll be all right
and though I have to
leave your side
I'll be here
when you call
Just stay put
don't go
I need you
hold on, baby sister
The call comes
I begin to cry
I hear your scream
of raw agony
and I'm running
Please hold on
Big sisters coming
please don't go
I'M COMING
