Dock Boggs - Drunkard's Lone Child lyrics

I'm alone, all alone, my friends all have fled My father, he's a drunkard; my mother, she is dead I'm a poor little child and I wander and weep For the voice of my mother to sing me to sleep I'm alone, all alone, in this cold world so wild God look down and pity a drunkard's child In pity look down and hasten to me And take me to dwell with mother and thee She sleeps on a hill in a bed of cold clay How sad it did seem to lay mother away She is gone with the angels and none do I see So dear is the face of my mother to me I'm alone, all alone, in this cold world so wild God look down and pity a drunkard's child In pity look down and hasten to me And take me to dwell with mother and thee It is springtime on earth and the birds are so glad I listen and I wonder, my heart is so sad Sweet flowers around and strangers pa** by But the form of my mother no longer is nigh
