Two Little Children chords by

Key: Bb major

Verse 1
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
Two little children, a boy and a girl,
D D 
 
sat down by the old church door.
G G 
 
The little girl's cheek was as
C C 
 
brown
G G 
 
as the curl that fell on the
D D 
 
G G 
 
dress that she wore.
The little boy's coat was
C C 
 
G G 
 
all rugged and torn,
D D 
 
a tear shone in each little eye.
G G 
 
Why don't you go home
C C 
 
G G 
 
to your mama they said
D D 
 
G G 
 
And this was the maiden's reply
We can't earn our bread
C C 
 
G G 
 
we're too little she said
D D 
 
Jim's five and I'm only seven
G G 
 
We've no one to love us
C C 
 
G G 
 
since papa's away
D D 
 
G G 
 
And darling mama's in heaven
Mama's in heaven,
C C 
 
G G 
 
angels took her away,
D D 
 
left Jim and I all alone.
G G 
 
And Papa got lost on the
C C 
 
G G 
 
sea long ago,
D D 
 
G G 
 
we have no mama nor home.
The sexton came early to
C C 
 
G G 
 
ring the church bell
D D 
 
and found them beneath the snow white.
G G 
 
The angels made room
C C 
 
for two orphans to dwell
G G 
 
In heaven with Mama that night.
