Two little orphans a boy and a girl Sat by an old church door The little girls feet were as brown as the curl That fell on the dress that she wore The boy's clothes were all tattered and torn That tear shone beneath little eyes Why don't you go home to your momma I said And this was the maidens reply Our momma is in heaven they took her away And left Jim and I all alone We came here to stay 'til the close of the day For we have no mama no home We can't earn our bread We're too little she said Jame's 5 years and I am only 7 No one can't love us our papa is dead And our darling mama is in heaven ♪ She said she would come for her darlings someday Perhaps she's coming tonight Maybe tonight there's no her there she said Two Little ones to keep Than placing her arm under little Jim's head She kissed him and fall her to sleep The sexton came early to ring the church bell And found them covered the snow white The angels made room for the children to dwell With mama heaven with their mommy that night The angels made room for the children to dwell With mama heaven with their mommy that night
