1
My father is a drunkard, my mother, she is dead
2
And I am just an orphan child, no place to lay my head
3
All through this world I wander, they drive me from their door
4
Someday I'll find a welcome on heaven's golden shore
5
Now if to me you'll listen I'll tell a story sad
6
How drinking rum and the gambling hell have stole away my dad
7
My mother, she is in heaven where God and the angels smile
8
And now I know she's watching her lonely orphan child
9
(We were once so happy and had a happy home)
10
(Till Daddy went to drinking rum and then he gambled some)
11
He left my darling mother, she died of a broken heart
12
And as I tell my story I can see your teardrops start
13
Don't weep for me and Mother although I know it is sad
14
But try to find someone to cheer and save my poor lonely dad
15
I'm awful cold and hungry, she closed her eyes and sighed
16
Then those who heard her story knew the orphan child had died
