Nobody`s Child — текст песни (Hank Snow)

I was slowly passing an orphan`s home one day
And stopped there for a moment just 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
I`m like a flower just growing wild
No mommy`s kisses and no daddy`s smile
Nobody wants me I`m nobody`s child

People come for children and take them for their own
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
I know they`d like to take me but when they see I`m blind
They always take some other child and I am left behind

No mother`s arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here 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

[spoken]
I just can`t seem to figure out
Why the folks all pass me by
Cause I know that it`s true that god takes
Little blind children with him in the sky
And they tell me that I`m oh so pretty
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
But then they take some other little child
And I`m left here all alone

I`m nobody`s child, I`m nobody`s child
I`m like a flower just growing wild
No mommy`s kisses and no daddy`s smile
Nobody wants me I`m nobody`s child
