About this book
In the house of too much trouble
Author: Paine, J. Bigelow
Year: 1901
[Verse 1] In the house of too much trouble, / Lived a lonely little boy, / He was eager for a playmate, / He was eager for a toy; / But ‘twas always too much bother, / Said sister Jennie too, / And he must not worry mamma, / She had plenty work to do. [Chorus] In the house of too much trouble, / He must never romp and play, / No one ever seemed to think / That regret would come some day; / And his little baby worries, / Soon impressed upon his brow, / In the house of too much trouble / There is quiet and sadness now. [Verse 2] In the house of too much trouble, / Is a mother kneeling now, / As she prays God spare her darling, / Ev’ry wish I’ll grant him now; / And a child’s voice whispers mamma, / Up in Heaven can I play, / But before the mother answered, / Her boy had pass’d away. [Chorus]
