Dolly Parton Two Little Orphans song lyrics

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
