A Drunkards Child - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
Written by:Andrew Jenkins/Jimmie Rodgers[00:00:01]
My father is a drunkard[00:00:06]
My mother she is dead[00:00:12]
And I am just an orphan child[00:00:17]
No place to lay my head[00:00:23]
All thru this world I wander[00:00:29]
They drive me from their door[00:00:35]
Some day I'll find a welcome[00:00:41]
On heaven's golden shore[00:00:46]
Now if to me you'll listen[00:00:52]
I'll tell my story sad[00:00:57]
How drinking rum and the gambling hell[00:01:03]
Has stole away my dad[00:01:09]
My mother she is in heaven[00:01:14]
Where God and the angels smile[00:01:20]
And now I know she's watching[00:01:26]
Her lonely orphan child[00:01:31]
We all were once so happy[00:02:24]
And had a happy home[00:02:29]
Till dad he went to drinking rum[00:02:35]
And then he gambled some[00:02:40]
He left my darling mother[00:02:46]
She died of a broken heart[00:02:52]
And as I tell my story[00:02:58]
I see your tear drops start[00:03:03]
Don't weep for me and mother[00:03:09]
All thru I know it is said[00:03:15]
But try to find someone to cheer[00:03:21]
And save my poor lonely dad[00:03:26]
I'm awful cold and hungry[00:03:32]
She closed her eyes and sighed[00:03:38]
Then those who heard her story[00:03:43]
Knew the orphan child has died[00:03:49]
