TWO LITTLE CHILDREN

Two little children a boy and a girl
Stood by an old church door
The little girls shoes were as bright as the tears
That fell upon the dress that she wore

The little boy's coat was all ragged and torn
And tears shone in his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mother I said
and this was the maidens reply

Mammas in heaven they took her away
Away to that home far and bright
She said that she'd call on her darlings some day
And perhaps she will call them tonight

Daddy got lost on the sea long ago
We waited all night on the shore
For he was a life saving captain you know
And never came back anymore

We can't earn our bread,we're to little she said
Jim's five and I'm only seven
Yes Daddy got lost on the sea long ago
And momma's up in heaven

The sextant came early to ring the church bell
He found them beneath the snow white
The angels made place for two orphans to dwell
In heaven with momma that night
