Nobody's Child Lyrics

As I was slowly passing

An orphan's home one day

I stopped for just a little while

To watch the children play

Alone a boy was standing

And when I asked him why

He turned with eyes that could not see

And he began to cry





I'm nobody's child

I'm nobody's child

Just like the flowers

I am growing wild

I've got no mammy's kisses

I've got no, no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child



No mammy's arms to hold me

Or soothe me when I cry

'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome

I wish that I could die

I'd walk the streets of Heaven

Where all the blind can see

And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me



I'm nobody's child

I'm nobody's child

Just like the flowers

I'm, I'm growing wild

I've got no mammy's kisses

I've got no, no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child
