Verse 1
D
A
D
G
D
Two little children, a boy and a girl,
A
sat by an old church door.
D
G
The little girl's feet were as brown
D
as the pearls that lay on the
A
D
dress that she wore.
The little boy's clothes
G
D
were all tattered and torn
A
A tear shone beneath his blue eyes
D
Why don't you go home
G
to your mother, I said
D
A
D
And this was the maiden's reply
G
D
Mama's in heaven, God took her away
A
Left Jim and I all alone
D
We came here to sleep at
G
the close of the day
D
A
D
A
D
For we have no mother or home
G
Papa was lost on the sea long ago
D
A
We waited all night on the shore
D
G
He was the life -saving captain,
you know
D
A
D
And he never came back anymore
G
D
Mama got sick, angels took her away
A
To dwell in a mansion so bright
D
She said they would come for
G
her darling someday
D
A
D
Perhaps they are coming tonight
A
D
The sexton came early
G
D
to ring the church bell
A
He found down beneath the snow white
D
The angels made room
G
for two orphans to dwell
D
A
D
In heaven with Mama that night
G
Mama's in heaven, God took her away
D
A
Left Jim and I all alone
D
We came here to sleep at
G
the close of the day,
D
A
for we have no mother or home.
