Two little children a boy and a girl Sat by and old church door The little girls feet were as brown as the curl That fell on the dress that she wore
The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn They shone beneath his blue eyes Why don't you go home to your mommy I said And this was the maidens reply
Mommy's is heaven angels took her away Left jim and I all alone We've no one to love us daddy is dead And our darling mother is gone
Mommy got sick angels took her away To dwell in those matins so bright She said she would come for her children someday And I guess she's coming tonight
The sexton came early to ring the church bell And found them beneath the snow white The angels made room for the orphans to dwell Up in heaven with their mommy that night
