allan "mac" mchale & the old-time radio gang - two little orphans lyrics

well, two little orphans, a girl and a boy
sat by an old church door
and the little girl’s cheeks was as brown as the curls
that fell on the dress that she wore

well, the little boy’s coat was all tattered and torn
tears fell from his little eyes
why don’t you go home to your mother? i said
oh, this was the maiden’s reply

mother’s in heaven, angels took her away
and they left jim and i all alone
so we come here to stay at the close of each day
for we have no mothеr at home
oh, father got lost on the sеa long ago
we waited all night on the shore
he was a life+savin’ captain, you know
but he never came back anymore

angels took mother, they took her away
to a home so fair and so bright
she said they would come for her darlin’ someday
well, perhaps they will take us tonight

we can’t earn our livin’ since mother has gone
i’m nine and jim’s only seven
oh, we can’t earn our livin’ since mother has gone
and joined with the angels in heaven

a s+xton came early to ring the church bell
when he found them beneath the snow white
well, the angels found room for two orphans to dwell
with mother in heaven that night

- allan mac mchale the old time radio gang lyrics
