Now come my little children and listen to my song, Can't you see there's sorry In Doing Wrong! Stay close to mommy and soon you'll see, Little babes are safer close by mother's knee.

I thought my father had made up the song for many years. I sing two more verses to my grandchildren. one about a turkey and one about related all this to children.

But I'm missing the last part. <br><br>now my little children you who sing this little song. Don't you see that trouble comes from simply doing wrong? Why don't you take the warning from mouse and robin's fate? For they began their thinking when it was too late. Think not all is safety although no danger shows. Thinking you know more than anybody knows. But........missing part. I remember this song as a kid too plus one other verse that is partially in the comments. But I'm missing the last part.

My daughter-in-law had never heard it before and wanted to know where it was from. I didn't know it was a poem first but then are most song lyrics just that! My sister even did a story board for her 1st grade class a few years ago based on this song! This was SUNG to me as a child and I’m now 63 years old and am singing it to my grandson.

Little robin readbreast lived outside the door, and wanted to go inside and hop upon the floor. "Oh no", said the mother "you must stay with me, little birds are safer sitting in a tree". "I don't care" said the little bird, and he gave his tail a fling. "I don't think the ole folks know quite everything". So down he flew, and kitty seized him before he had time to blink. "Oh", he cried, "I'm sorry, but I just didn't think." Once there was a turkey, fond of her own way, who wouldn't ask the ole folks where to go or stay. " Goodness", she said "here I am half grown, surley I'm old enough to go about alone". So off she went, and someone spying saw her pass. Soon like snow her feathers covered all the grass. So she made a supper for some sly young mink, because she was so head strong that she just didn't think. Now my little children, you who here this song, don't you see what kind of trouble comes from thinking wrong? Won't you take a warning from their dreadful fate, who began their thinking when it was to late. The End. This has been passed down in my family for years by our "Granny Easterly". All children and adults for that matter should read and memorize this poem. it is benifical in so many ways. I have had to recit it several times through out my life to remind me to do the right thing. This poem means the world to me and my family so please pass it on to your loved ones. Maybe they will begin their thinking BEFORE it is too late. There are 3 additional versus.
