John M Montgomary The Little Girl Lyrics

The Little Girl Lyrics

this is a song that is very near to my heart  

 and i hope it has a good feeling on your heart too...Leann jasper, GA 

  

 her parents never took the young girl to church 

 Never spoke of his name, never read her his word 

 Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world 

 Took their baby with them what a sad little girl 

  

 Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs 

 Never wanted to play or give kissed and hugs 

 She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch 

 while her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out 

  

 and the drinking and the fighting 

 just got worse every night 

 behind their couch she'd be hiding 

 oh what a sad little life 

  

 And like it always does the bad just got worse 

 whith every slap and every curse 

 until her daddy in a drunk rage one night 

 used a gun on her mom and then took his life 

 and some people from the city 

 took the girl far away  

 to a new mom and a new dad  

 kisses and hugs every day 

  

 her first day af sunday school the teacher walked in 

 and a small little girl stared at a pitcher of him 

 she said I know that man up there on that cross 

 I don't know his name but i know he got off  

 cause he was there in my old house 

 and held me close to his side 

 as I hid there behind our couch  

 the night that may parents died
