A Drunkard's Child - Jimmie Rodgers[00:00:00]
My father is a drunkard [00:00:16]
My mother she is dead;[00:00:21]
And I am just an orphan child [00:00:26]
No place to lay my head;[00:00:31]
All thru this world I wander [00:00:36]
They drive me from their door [00:00:41]
Some day I'll find a welcome[00:00:46]
On Heaven's golden shore [00:00:51]
Now if to me you'll listen [00:00:56]
I'll tell my story sad;[00:01:01]
How drinking rum and gambling[00:01:06]
Hell has stole away my dad;[00:01:10]
My mother is in heaven [00:01:16]
Where God and the angels smile;[00:01:21]
And now I know she's watching[00:01:26]
Her lonely orphan child [00:01:31]
We all were once so happy [00:01:47]
And had a happy home;[00:01:52]
Till dad he went to drinking rum [00:01:57]
And then he gambled some;[00:02:02]
He left my darling mother [00:02:07]
She died of a broken heart;[00:02:11]
And as I tell my story [00:02:16]
I see your tear-drops start [00:02:21]
Don't weep for me and mother [00:02:26]
Altho' I know 'tis said;[00:02:31]
But try to get someone to cheer[00:02:36]
And save my poor lonely dad;[00:02:41]
"I'm awful cold and hungry "[00:02:46]
She closed her eyes and sighed;[00:02:51]
Then those who heard her story [00:02:56]
Knew the orphan child has died[00:03:00]
