drunkard's child - hank snow lyrics

Loading...

my father is a drunkard,
my mother, she is dead;
and i am just an orphan child,
no place to lay my head;
all thru this world i wander,
they drive me from their door,
some day i’ll find a welcome
on heaven’s golden sh-r-.

now if to me you’ll listen,
i’ll tell my story sad;
how drinking rum and gambling
h-ll has stole away my dad;
my mother is in heaven,
where god and the angels smile;
and now i know she’s watching
her lonely orphan child.

we all were once so happy,
and had a happy home;
till dad, he went to drinking rum,
and then he gambled some;
he left my darling mother,
she died of a broken heart;
and as i tell my story,
i see your tear-drops start.

don’t weep for me and mother,
altho’ i know ’tis said;
but try to get someone to cheer
and save my poor lonely dad;
“i’m awful cold and hungry,”
she closed her eyes and sighed;
then those who heard her story,
knew the orphan child has died.
