[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
