Nobody's Child Songtext
von Lonnie Donegan

As I was slowly passing
An orphan′s home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry

I'm nobody′s child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower
I′m growing wild
I got no mammy′s kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Oh nobody wants me
I′m nobody's child


No mammy′s arms to hold me
Or sooth me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonesome, yeah
I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids
It′d be a home for me

People come for children
And take them for their own
I know you'll like to me
But I'm left here alone
They say they like my curls of gold
They like my eyes of blue
But they always take some other child
An′ I′m left here with you

I'm nobody′s child
I'm nobody′s child
Just like a flower
I'm growing wild
I got no mammy′s kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Lord, nobody wants me
I'm nobody′s child
