Out in this cold world alone

Wandering about on the street

Asking a penny for bread

Begging for something to eat



   I'm nobody's darling on earth

   Heaven have mercy on me

   For I'm nobody's darling

   Nobody cares for me



When I was but a young lad

Mother was taken from home

Now I have no one to love me

No one to call me their own



While others are sleeping so sound

Or dreaming of silver and gold

I'm out in this cold world alone

Wandering about in the cold



If I'm fortunate enough

To get to the Heavenly home

I will have some one to love me

Some one to call me their own
