Someone asked for an old Hank Snow song, "Nobody's Child."
Although Hank recorded it, the original was Harry Hibbs. Here it is.
Nobody's Child
As D I was slowly passing D7 by an G orphan's home one day,
I A7 thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children D play.
Alone, a boy was D7 standing, and G when I asked him why,
He A7 turned with eyes that could not see and this was his re-{D} ply.
I'm G nobody's child, A7 nobody's D child.
A7 I'm like a flower, just growing D wild.
No mommy's D7 kisses and no G daddy's smiles,
Nobody A7 wants me, I'm nobody's D child.
People come for children to take them for their own,
But they seem to pass me by and why I never know.
I know they want to take me, but when they see I'm Blind,
They always pick some other child and I am left behind.
Repeat Chorus>>>
No mommy's arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry,
Sometimes I feel so lonely, I wish that I could die.
I'll walk the street of heaven where all the blind can see,
Then I'll be like other kids, There'll be a place for me.
Repeat Chorus>>>
