D
Tom, will you be someone great?
A
D
Do you know right from wrong
G
Are they teachin' you at home
D
A
Or are you left to roam
D
Little town
I went into a cafe and ordered
A
myself something to eat
D
When a little boy walked in
with shoes half off his feet
A
He said, my paper mister? I said,
D
how old are you son?
Seven sir, and when my papers are sold
I'll be on my way home.
A
What's your name?
D
Thomas sir, but everybody calls me little
G
Tom.
They named me after my daddy,
D
but this hair looks like my mom.
Why it's almost midnight,
A
and you should be home asleep.
D
I know it, but I wanted to get me a bicycle,
and I gotta help mommy buy something to eat.
A
My daddy's pretty mean to us,
D
and he spends most of his money for wine
And he don't hold a job like other men,
A
cause, well, he gets fired all the time
D
I said, have something to eat,
son, aren't you hungry?
I guess a little bit,
I believe I'll have a hamburger and a glass of milk to go with it
G
I said, is that enough?
Make it two, ain't eaten since lunch
A
D
Where do you live, son?
On
Main
A
Street, sir, there's six of
us lives in one room.
D
That's me and my three brothers
and my mommy and my dad.
But I'm gonna buy mommy a big house someday,
A
D
if I have to turn out bad.
My appetite left me as I
sat there watching him,
A
an d I thought, he's just one of thousands
D
that's brought up in a home of sin,
where the parents declare their children
and forget the maker of all mankind,
and then wonder why there's juvenile delinquency
G
when they're at fault most of the time.
I bit my lip and fought back tears as I
D
Bm
D
watched the little guy leave the cafe,

and I wondered how many more chil

Little
D
Tom,
A
what will be your fate?
D
Thank you for watching.
