Two Little Orphans Lyrics

Two Little Orphans - Dolly Parton

...

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 Tim 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 mansions so bright

She said she would come

For her children some day

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
