    Question Won't you come over to my house// I think?

    I'm looking for an old song my grandmother sang to me......
    Won't you come over to my house, Won't you come over and play??
    I'll give you candy, a dolly or 2

    That's all I remember, I sure would appreciate the help..

    The time was in June,
    The bees humm'd a tune
    The perfume of rose fill'd the air,
    When just o'er the way,
    Sat a baby one day,
    All alone and so one one seem'd to care,
    But one passer by,
    Turn'd and look'd with a sigh,
    At the tears and the eyes swollen red,
    Then close to her breast,
    The young darling she press'd,
    And tenderly to her she said,

    [CHORUS]
    Won't you come over to my house,
    Won't you come over and play,
    I've lots of playthings, a dolly or two
    We live in the house 'cross the way,
    I'll give you candy and sweet things,
    I'll put your hair in a curl,
    Won't you come over to my house,
    And play that you're my little girl.

    Perhaps you don't know,
    That not long ago,
    These toys I am giving to you,
    Were my little girls,
    Yes, my one little Pearl's,
    And her eyes were like yours, large and blue,
    But one night I found,
    That the angels came 'round,
    And they took her way up to the sky,
    So don't stay away,
    But come over each day,
    Or you'll make your new Mama cry,

    I too knew this song from over 70 years ago, a wonderful song among many! I can only recall part of the tune, do you have the music?? I think this WEB is wonderful! I am preparing to leave & as matriarch of a huge family, I want to leave these memories for them. I hope I have the time to get them all on paper & my little recorder!
