I’m Nobody’s Child

By Hank Snow

C                       F

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day

   C                           D7                         G7

And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play

  C                           F

A lonely boy was standing and when I asked him why

   C                                       G7          C

He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry

                       C7       F

I'm nobody's child I’m nobody's child

G7                             C

I’m like a flower just growing wild

                     C7      F

No mommy’s kisses no daddy's smile

G7                           C

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

People come for children and take them for their own

    C                           D7               G7

But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone

  C                               F

I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind

     C                                  G7      C

They always take some other child and I am left behind

No mommy’s arms to hold me or sooth me when I cry

    C                            D7                  G7

Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die

    C                          F

I’d walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see

    C                                    G7           C

And just like all the other kids there’d be a home for me

Next two verses are spoken:

I just can’t seem to figure out

Why the folks all pass me by

Cause I know that it’s true that God takes

D7                                    G7

Little blind children with Him in the sky

And they tell me I’m so pretty

And they seem to like my big curls of gold

But then they take some other little child

        G7           C

And I’m left here all alone

Repeat #2
