Willy Roy The Crippled Boy
His age was seven years today
He don't know what it is to play
Each night before he goes to bed
This little prayer he always says
Now I lay me down to rest
Dear God please give me happiness
I'm praying so my dreams come true
So I can walk and play with you
His name they call him Willy Roy
He's just a little crippled boy
But now the tears roll down his cheeks
I wipe them off so he can sleep
* Refrain
Someday I hope you can go out
And play with me and walk about
I won't scold if you should cry
So soon, be good, my son good night
* Refrain
He don't know what it is to play
Each night before he goes to bed
This little prayer he always says
Now I lay me down to rest
Dear God please give me happiness
I'm praying so my dreams come true
So I can walk and play with you
His name they call him Willy Roy
He's just a little crippled boy
But now the tears roll down his cheeks
I wipe them off so he can sleep
* Refrain
Someday I hope you can go out
And play with me and walk about
I won't scold if you should cry
So soon, be good, my son good night
* Refrain
