American Old Time Song Lyrics: 27 Eva To Her Papa
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 27
EVA TO HER PAPA.
Written And sung by S. C. Howard.
Sung with Booth & Collier's "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
When your daughter's taken away,
And your heart is filled with care;
"When with angels I shall pray
For your peace and comfort here,
Shall poor Uncle Tom he free?
Papa, promise this to me.
When your little Eva's there,
Robed like those in spotless white,
And the conquering palm I bear,
Blessed with love and heaven's light,
Shall poor Uncle Tom he free?
Papa, promise this to me.
Wife and children send him near,
When forever I am gone,
Papa, check the falling tear,
Think upon my dying song:
Uncle Tom-oh, make him free!
Papa, papa, do for me.
