A Drunkard's Child - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)
My father is a drunkard
My mother she is dead;
And I am just an orphan child
No place to lay my head;
All thru this world I wander
They drive me from their door
Some day I'll find a welcome
On Heaven's golden shore
Now if to me you'll listen
I'll tell my story sad;
How drinking rum and gambling
Hell has stole away my dad;
My mother is in heaven
Where God and the angels smile;
And now I know she's watching
Her lonely orphan child
We all were once so happy
And had a happy home;
Till dad he went to drinking rum
And then he gambled some;
He left my darling mother
She died of a broken heart;
And as I tell my story
I see your tear-drops start
Don't weep for me and mother
Altho' I know 'tis said;
But try to get someone to cheer
And save my poor lonely dad;
"I'm awful cold and hungry"
She closed her eyes and sighed;
Then those who heard her story
Knew the orphan child has died
