Two Little Orphans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Two[G] li[C]ttl[G]e c[C]hildren,
[Dm]a gi[G]rl and a boy
[C]Stood by [A]an old church [D]door[G]
The [C]little girls feet were as
[F]brown as the [Db]curls
That [G]hung upon the dress that she [C]wore

[Verse 2]
[C]The little [F]boy's coat was
all tattered [C]and torn
And [G]tears hung in his blue [C]eye[G]s
Why [C]Don't you go home
to your [F]mother I [Db]said
And [G]this was the maiden's reply
[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Mama's in Heaven,
Angels [C]took her [G]away
She is gone to that land [C]fair and bright
[G]She said she would come for[C] her
[F]darlings some [Db]day
Perhaps she [C]will [G]come [C]tonight

[Verse 4]
[C]We can[F]'t earn our bread,
we're too [C]little, she said
Jim's [G]five and I'm only [C]seven
[G]We can't earn [C]our living
since [F]Papa is [Db]dead
And our [C]darling [G]Mama's

[Interlude 1]
in heaven
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Papa got drowned on the [Dm]sea long a[G]go
We [C]waited all [A]night by the [D]shore[G]
For [C]he was a lifesaving [F]captain you [C]know
And he never came [G]back anymore
[C]

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][G][C][G][C]
[F][Db]

[Verse 6]
Per[C]haps, [G]the[C]re'[F]s no
[C]room up in Heaven, she said
For [G]two little darlings to [C]keep[G]
She then [C]placed her hand under
Jim[F]s little head
[C]She kissed him,
and [G]both fell asleep
[C]

[Verse 7]
The sexton came [F]early to [C]ring
the church bell
And found them [G]be neath the
snow [C]white
The angels made [C]room for
two orphans to dwell
In heaven with Mama [G]that night
