- 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 the flowers
- I am growing wild.
- I've got no mammy's kisses,
- I've got no, no daddy's smile.
- Nobody wants me,
- I'm nobody's child.
- No mammy's arms to hold me
- Or soothe me when I cry,
- 'cause sometimes i feel so lonesome,
- I wish that I could die.
- I´d walk the streets of heaven
- Where all the blind can see,
- And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me.
- I'm nobody's child,
- I'm nobody's child,
- just like the flowers
- I'm, I'm growing wild.
- I've got no mammy's kisses,
- I've got no, no daddy's smile.
- Nobody wants me,
- I'm nobody's child.
