Hang Up The Baby's Stocking
Composer(s): Emily Huntington Miller; Hiram Murray Higgins



Hang up the baby's stocking
Be sure you don't forget!
The dear little dimpled darling
She never saw Christmas yet!
But I've told her all about it
And she opened her big blue eyes
And I'm sure she understood it
She looked so funny and wise

Dear, what a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toe's as baby's
Away from the frost and the cold
But then, for the baby's Christmas
It will never do at all
Why! Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small

I know what I will do for the baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma's
The longest that ever I can
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother
Right here in the corner so!
And leave a letter to Santa
And fasten it in the toe

Write-this is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here
You never have seen her, Santa
For she only came this year
But she's just the blessed'st baby
And now before you go
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe!
