Little Tom - Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]
Written by:C. Wilson[00:00:00]
Little Tom what will be your fate[00:00:03]
Little Tom will you be someone great[00:00:12]
Do you know right from wrong[00:00:21]
Are they teaching you at home[00:00:25]
Or have they turn you loose to roam little Tom[00:00:29]
I walked into a cafe and[00:00:39]
Ordered myself something to eat[00:00:42]
When a little boy walked in[00:00:44]
With his shoes half off his feet[00:00:46]
He said buy a paper mister[00:00:50]
I said how old are you son[00:00:52]
Seven sir when my papers are sold[00:00:54]
I'll be on my way home[00:00:58]
What your name[00:01:00]
Thomas but everybody calls me little Tom[00:01:02]
They named me after my daddy[00:01:05]
But they say I look like my mama[00:01:07]
Why it's almost midnight[00:01:10]
You should be home asleep[00:01:12]
I know it but I wanna get me a bicycle[00:01:14]
And I gotta help mama buy[00:01:17]
Somethin' to eat my daddy's pretty mean to us[00:01:18]
And he spends most of his[00:01:23]
Money for wine he don't hold a job like other men[00:01:25]
Cause will he gets fired all time[00:01:28]
I said have somethin' to eat[00:01:33]
Aren't you hungry[00:01:35]
I guess a little bit[00:01:36]
I believe I'll have a hamburger and a glass[00:01:38]
Of milk to go with it[00:01:40]
I said is there enough he said make it two[00:01:43]
Cause I ain't eat since noon[00:01:47]
I said where you live son on main street sir[00:01:49]
There's six of us livin' in one room[00:01:53]
There's me and my three brothers[00:01:56]
And my ma and my dad[00:01:59]
But someday I'm gonna buy me a big house[00:02:02]
If I don't turn out bad[00:02:04]
My appetite left me as[00:02:07]
I sat there watching him[00:02:09]
And I thought he's just one of thousands[00:02:12]
That's brought up in a home of sin[00:02:15]
When the parents neglect the children[00:02:17]
And forget to make the all menkind[00:02:20]
And then wondered why there's jun for all the little thing[00:02:23]
When there though most of the time[00:02:27]
I bit my lip and fought back tears[00:02:30]
As I watched the little guy leave the cafe[00:02:33]
And I wondered how many more children[00:02:37]
Would be brought up that way[00:02:40]
Little Tom what will be your fate[00:02:45]
