Roy Acuff - Two Little Orphans lyrics
Your rating:
[harmonica] Two little children a boy and a girl sat by an old Church door, the little girls feet were as brown as the curls, that lay on the dress that she wore. The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn, a tear shown beneath his blue eyes, why dont you go home to your mother i said, and this was the maidens reply Mamas in Heaven God took her away, left Jim and I all alone We came here to sleep at the close of the day for we have no mother or home [harmonica] Papa was lost on the sea long ago we waited all night on the shore He was a life saving captian you know and he never came back any more Mama got sick Angels took her away to dwell in a mansion so bright She said they would come for her darlings some day perhaps they are coming tonight [hamonica] The sexton came early to ring the Church bell he found them beneath the snow white The Angels made room for two orphans to dwell in Heaven with mama that night Mamas in Heaven God took her away left Jim and I all alone We came here to sleep at the close of the day for we have no mother or home [harmoncia]
