See that star up yonder mister
Shining down that the whole wide might see
That's my daddy there in heaven
And that star belongs to me

My daddy died over yonder in a land across the sea
And he left me and mommy alone and here are we
I promised to be a good girl, stay with mommy every day
But I get so lonesome for daddy that's why to you I say

* Refrain

I pray each night and morning for daddy and mammy and me
Some day we'll be together once again like we used to be
Some day I'll see my daddy and we'll walk the streets of gold
With mommy we'll be so happy once again to you I'll say

* Refrain
