Hank Snow
Nobody's Child
DI was slowly passing an orpGhan's home one day
And sDtopped there for a moment just to waEtch the children plAay
AloDne a boy was standing and whGen I asked him why
He turDned with eyes that coGuld not see and hAe began to cDry
Chorus
I'm noDbody's child, I'm nobody's chGild
IA'm like a flower just growing wiDld
DNo mommy's kisses and nGo daddy's smile
NAobody wants me I'm nobody's chDild
PDeople come for children and tGake them for their own
But tDhey all seem to pass me by and EI am left aloAne
ID know they'd like to take me but whGen they see I'm blind
They alwDays take some othGer child and IA am left behDind
NDo mother's arms to hold me or sGoothe me when I cry
SDometimes it gets so lonely here I wEish that I could Adie
I'd wDalk the streets of heaven where Gall the blind can see
And jDust like all the otGher kids there'd Abe a home for Dme
[spoken]
I just canD't seem to figure out Why the folks all pass me Gby
Cause AI know that it's true that god takes Little blind
chilDdren with him in the sky
DAnd they tell me that I'm oh so pretty And tGhey seem to
like my big curls of gold
But thDen they take some other little child And I'm left
here all alDone
Chorus
I'm nobDody's child, I'm nobody's chGild
I'Am like a flower just growing wiDld
No mommy's kisses and nGo daddy's smile
NoAbody wants me I'm nobody's chiDld
