Two little orphans, a boy and a girl Sat by an old church door The little girl's feet were as brown as the curls That fell on the dress that she wore
The boy's coat was faded an hatless his head And tears shone in each little eye Why don't you go home to your mama I said This was the maiden's reply
Mama's in Heaven, they took her away And left Jim and I all alone We came here to stay till the close of the day We have no mama no more.
We can't earn our bread, we're too little, she said Jim's five years and I'm only seven No one to love us since Papa is dead And our darling Mama's in heaven
Papa was lost on the sea long ago We waited all night on the shore For he was a lifesaving captain you know But he never came back anymore
Then momma got sick angles took her away They said to a home fair and bright She said she'd come back for her darlings one day Perhaps she's comming tonight
Maby tonight there's no room there for us Two little ones to keep Then placing her arm under little Jims head She kissed him and both fell asleep
The sexton came early to ring the church bell And found them all covered snow white The angels made room for two children to dwell In heaven with Mommie that nightTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
