As I was slowly passing
        An Orphan`s home one day,
        I stopped for just a little while
        To watch the children play.
        Alone a boy was standing,
        And when I asked him why,
        He turned with eyes that could not see
        And he began to cry.
      I`m nobody`s child,
        I`m nobody`s child,
        Just like the flowers
        I am growing wild.
        I`ve got no mammy`s kisses,
        I`ve got no, no daddy`s smile.
        Nobody wants me,
        I`m nobody`s child.
      No mammy`s arms to hold me
        Or soothe me when I cry,
        `Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome,
        I wish that I colud die.
        I`d walk the streets of heaven
        Where all the blind can see,
        And just like all other kids there`d be a home for me.
      I`m nobody`s child,
        I`m nobody`s child,
        Just like the flowers
        I am growing wild.
        I`ve got no mammy`s kisses,
        I`ve got no, no daddy`s smile.
        Nobody wants me,
        I`m nobody`s child.
