Lyrics A Drunkard´s Child - Hank Snow
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.
