Nobody’s Child - Lonnie Donegan

Nobody's Child - Lonnie Donegan/Foree/Coben
As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
I stopped for a just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes
That could not see and he began to cry
I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
I got no mommy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
No mommy's arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of Heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids
There'd be a home for me
People come for children
And take them for their own
I know they'd like to take me
And I am left here all alone
They say they like my eyes
Oh-so-pretty
He like my big curls of gold
But all he takes some other child
And I am left here with you
I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
I got no mommy's kisses I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
