Mother and I were all alone
We had no place to call our own
It'll never be like home no more
Till we get on that other shore
Oh, mother dear and daddy to
We wish that we were there with you
It's not the same since you're away
We'll see you mother and dad some day
Mother and dad were growing old
It hurt us so to see them go
It's not the same since they're gone
Oh, mother and dad we're so slone
* Refrain
Our little house is trmbled down
Since mother and dad are not around
For its a home without a friend
I could never go back home again
* Refrain
