THE DRUNKARD's LONE CHILD

I'm alone. all alone. my friends all have
fed:
My fathers a drunkard. my mother Is
dead;
I'm a poor little girl. I wander and
For the voice of my mother to sing me
to sleep.
She sleeps on the hill. in bed made of
clay;
How cold it did seem to lay mother
away.
She's gone with the angels, and none
| do see
SO dear as the face of my mother to me-
| Chorus:
I'm a little lone girl In this cold world
so wild.
God. look down and pity the drunkard's
lone child;
Look down and pity. Oil soon come to
Take me to dwell with mother and
Thee.
IT'S springtime on earth. the birds seem
SO glad
listen, and wonder, my heart Is so sad
wanders by,
But the form of my mother no longer
is nigh.
Last night in my dreams she seemed
to draw near,
She pressed me as fondly as when she
here;
She smiled on me sweetly and fondled
my brow,
And whispered. sleep on, am watch
ing thee now"
