This version of the song is taken from the John Bradshaw TV series "Homecoming." Despite the fact that this originates from VHS tape and is scratchy and grainy, I think it's a far more powerful rendition of the song than the others currently on youtube.
I grew up with abuse and this song moved me to tears. In his introduction to the song, John Bradshaw tells us to close our eyes as we listen, and let our own wounded inner toddler get in touch with some scene or place where you have been pained in your childhood. Picture that that "little you" as you listen to the song.

Lyrics:
A B C Me crying, Mama make me smile.
Rock me in your arms a little while.
A B C Me crying, won't you love your child?
E F G I'm sorry. Daddy take my hand.
Tell me what I've done so bad.
E F G I wonder why are you so mad?
Don't you love me Dad?
Cross my heart I swear Mom I won't cry no more!
I'll just lay in silence down here on the floor.
Cross my heart and hope to die, if you don't want me anymore.
1 2 3 4 You Mom I won't talk so loud.
I won't laugh so hard, I'll shut my mouth.
1 2 3 4 You Mom, I won't make a sound.
Doe Rae Mean and angry words are all I hear.
Through my bedroom walls so loud and clear
Doe Rae Me I lie awake and shake with fear, and wish I had no ears.
Try to remember the child that once was you.
Did you hide in the darkest corners of your lonely room
And pray to God to help you through the long and lonely nights.
Afraid to holler Mama, oh please come hold me tight.
Go on and close your eyes now.
Take a little trip through time.
Let it all come back to you.
And give unto every child the love, the love denied to you.
And remember the child will remember.
And remember the child will remember, his whole life time too.
