If you don’t mind a having a little cry, watch this original 1941 version of the scene where infant Dumbo is too briefly reunited with mother Jumbo, locked in chains for the crime of protecting her only baby.
I can barely type this without tearing up, but it’s one of the most beautiful moments in Disney cinematic history. (Although the rest of Dumbo has some SERIOUS problems.)
But, anyway, here are the original video and lyrics of this film from Disney’s Classics Vault.

Seriously, I can’t write any more here without sobbing my heart out. But it’s breathtakingly worth it. I hope the Dumbo remake does it justice. But, hey, it’s Disney. They surely will. And it will probably make us cry. 🙂

Lyrics to the Original Version of Baby Mine
(Sung by Betty Noyes)
Baby mine, don’t you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mine
Little one, when you play
Don’t you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear
Baby of mine
From your head to your toes (Baby mine)
You’re so sweet, goodness knows (Baby mine)
You are so precious to me
Cute as can be
Baby of mine
Baby mine
Baby mine
(1941. Songwriters: Frank Churchill / Ned Washington

Be happy, RunPee fans. I’m gonna go now and wipe these darn tears off my face.
