Текст песни Artificial Flowers - Audio Idols

Alone in the world was poor little Ann
As sweet a young child as you find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leaving their baby behind
This poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still she bravely worked at the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers
Yeah, those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
Snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From making artificial flowers
Those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers
Artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair
They found little Annie all covered with ice
Still clutching her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dum-dum flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
Give her the real thing
