Little Tom - Ferlin Husky[00:00:00]

Little tom what will be your fate[00:00:10]

Little tom will you be someone great[00:00:21]

Do you know right from wrong[00:00:31]

Are they teaching you at home[00:00:36]

Or have they turn you loose to roam little tom[00:00:41]

I walked into a cafe and[00:00:53]

Ordered myself something to eat[00:00:56]

When a little boy walked in[00:00:58]

With his shoes half off his feet[00:01:00]

He said buy a paper mister[00:01:03]

I said how old are you son[00:01:06]

Seven sir when my papers are sold[00:01:09]

I'll be on my way home[00:01:11]

What your name[00:01:14]

Thomas but everybody calls me little tom[00:01:15]

They named me after my daddy[00:01:19]

But they say I look like my mama[00:01:21]

I said why it's almost midnight son[00:01:24]

You should be home asleep[00:01:27]

I know it but I wanna get me a bicycle[00:01:29]

And I gotta help mama buy[00:01:33]

Something to eat my daddy's pretty mean to us[00:01:34]

And he spends most of his[00:01:38]

Money for wine he don't hold a job like other men[00:01:39]

He gets fired all time[00:01:44]

I said have Something to eat[00:01:47]

Aren't you hungry son[00:01:49]

He said I guess a little bit[00:01:52]

I believe I'll have a hamburger and a glass[00:01:54]

Of milk to go with it[00:01:57]

I said is that enough[00:01:58]

He said make it two cause I ain't eat since noon[00:02:01]

Where do you live son[00:02:06]

On main street sir[00:02:07]

There's six of us living in one room[00:02:09]

There's me and my three brothers and my mommy and my dad[00:02:12]

But someday I'm gonna buy mommy a big house[00:02:15]

If I have to turn out bad[00:02:17]

My appetite left me[00:02:20]

As I sat there watching him[00:02:22]

And I thought he's just one of thousands[00:02:24]

That's brought up in a home of sin[00:02:26]

Where their parents abused their children[00:02:29]

And forget to maker the all mankind[00:02:31]

And then wondered why there's juvenile delinquency[00:02:34]

When they are at fault most of the time[00:02:37]

I bit my lip and fought back tears[00:02:41]

As I watched the little guy leave the cafe[00:02:43]

And I wondered how many more children[00:02:46]

Would be brought up that way[00:02:49]

Little tom what will be your fate[00:03:01]

Little tom will you be someone great[00:03:11]
