A Drunkard's Child

Jimmie Rodgers, Andrew Jenkins

My father is a drunkard my mother she is dead
And I am just an orphan child
No place to lay my head
All through this world I wander they
Drive me from their door
Someday I'll find a welcome
On heaven's golden shore

Now if to me you'll listen
I'll tell a story sad
How drinking rum and the gambling hell
Have stole away my dad
My mother she is in heaven where
God and the angels smile
And now I know she's watching
Her lonely orphan child

We were once so happy and had a happy home
Till daddy went to drinking rum
And then he gambled some
He left my darling mother she
Died of a broken heart
And as I tell my story I
Can see your teardrops start

Don't weep for me and mother although
I know it is sad
But try to find someone to cheer
And save my poor lonely dad
I'm awful cold and hungry she
Closed her eyes and sighed
Then those who heard her story knew
The orphan child had died
