John McCormack Little Boy Blue

My dad used to read this to me when I was little and it STILL makes me cry. I had no idea it was made into a song!! I will have to check out the other version.

Beautiful song; my aunt used to sing it to me when I was a child. I'd love to find the sheet music for this.

Thanks very much for posting. My mother used to sing this song. I had a very unhappy childhood and this song for some reason sums it all up. Its as if I died as a child and have just been existing since!

Having said that I think McCormack's other songs are beautiful

My brother sings this awful song. Its probably one of the worst songs I have ever heard.Its ideally sung in a pub a closing time to clear the premises quickly !

Nice. I actually wrote a song called "Little Boy Blue," that has nothing to do with the original rhyme or this song.... Check it out!

I've been looking for tghis for ages. It's a real weepie. My dad used to sing it in the 1950's, and it always made me cry. Still does and I'm 66!

Nobody could tell a story like the maestro.
