Two Little Orphans

Two little children, a boy and a girl

Sat by an old church door

The little girl's feet were as brown as the curl

That fell on the dress that she wore

The little boy's clothes were all tattered and torn

They shone beneath his blue eyes

"Why don't you go home to your mommy?", I said

And this was the maiden's reply

"Mommy's in heaven, angels took her away"

"Left Jim and I all alone"

"We've no one to love us and daddy is dead"

"And our darling mother is gone"

Mommy got sick, angels took her away

To dwell in those matins so bright

She said she would come for her children someday

And I guess she's coming tonight

The sexton came early to ring the church bell

And found them beneath the snow white

The angels made room for the orphans to dwell

Up in heaven with their mommy that night
