[Verse 1]
                                          G7
My father is a drunkard, my mother she is dead
                                           G      C
And I am just an orphan child, no place to lay my head
                                 C7                       F
All through this world I wander, they drive me from their door
                    C           G7              C
Someday I'll find a welcome, on heaven's golden shore

[Verse 2]
                                              G7
Now if to me you'll listen, I'll tell a story sad
                                                            C
How drinking rum and the gambling hell, have stoled away my dad
                                  C7                 F
My mother she is in heaven, where God and the angels smile
                     C             G7     G      C
And now I know she's watching, her lonely orphan child

[Verse 3]
                                      G7
We were once so happy and had a happy home
                                                        C
'Till daddy he went to drinking rum and then he gambled some
                               C7               F
He left my darling mother, she died of a broken heart
                 C        G7                 C
And as I tell my story, I see your teardrops start

[Verse 4]
                                                    G7
Don't weep for me and mother, although I know it is sad
                                    G                   C
But try to get someone to cheer and save my poor lonely dad
                               C7                  F
I'm awful cold and hungry, she closed her eyes and sighed
                         C               G7     G         C
Then those who heard her story, knew the orphan child had died
