Precious little childrenâwhat can I do?
Someday they'll rememberâwhat I told you
Did it together just you and me
Without a man in this family
I didn't raise themâit's you they love
They will remember the things you've done
Sometimes I felt that I've lost my mind
Things didn't work out the way we planned
And when they grow up and they make good
They will repay what I owe toâ
You'llâbe taken care of
And they'llâremember youâ
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
Youâwill never want for more
When they grow up they'll be kind and smart
And you will see that they'll all go far
I haven't long but I know it's true
These little ones owe a lot toâ
You'llâbe taken care of
And they'llâremember youâ
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
Youâwill never want for more
You'll be taken care ofâthey'll remember you
Someday they will give youâthings I never could
You'll be taken care ofâon that you can be sure
If there's any justice in this world you'll never want for more
SomedayâI promise you
Rememberâwhat I say is true
SomedayâI promise you
Rememberâwhat I say is true
