A Drunkards Child - Hank Snow
Written by：Andrew Jenkins/Jimmie Rodgers
My father is a drunkard
My mother she is dead
And I am just an orphan child
No place to lay my head
All thru this world I wander
They drive me from their door
Some day I'll find a welcome
On heaven's golden shore
Now if to me you'll listen
I'll tell my story sad
How drinking rum and the gambling hell
Has 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 all were once so happy
And had a happy home
Till dad he 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 see your tear drops start
Don't weep for me and mother
All thru I know it is said
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 has died
