Hank Snow Nobody`s Child Lyrics

Nobody`s Child Lyrics

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day

And stop 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 couldn't 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 smiles

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child



I just can't seem to understand

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



People come for children and take them to their own

But they all seem to pass me by and leave me here 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 blinds can see

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



(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 smiles

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
