Out in this cold world alone
Wandering about on the street
Asking a penny for bread
Begging for something to eat
I'm nobody's darling on earth
Heaven have mercy on me
For I'm nobody's darling
Nobody cares for me
When I was but a young lad
Mother was taken from home
Now I have no one to love me
No one to call me their own
* Refrain
While others are slooping so sound
Or dreaming of silver and gold
I'm out in this cold world alone
Wandering about in the cold
* Refrain
If I'm fortunate enough
To get to the Heavenly home
I will have some one to love me
Some one to call me their own
* Refrain
