Lyrics

As I was slowly passin' there an orphans' home (Ab)today,

I (Bb)stopped for just a little while to watch the children (Eb)play.

Alone a boy was standing.

And when I asked him why,

he (Bb)turned with eyes that could not see and he began to (Eb)cry,

"I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

(Bb)Just like a flower,

I'm (Bb7)growin' (Eb)wild.

No mama's arms to hold me,

no daddy's smile.

(Bb)Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's (Eb)child."

(Eb)In ev'ry town and village there are places just like (Ab)this,

with (Bb)rows and rows of children while and babies in their (Eb)cribs.

They've long since stopped their cryin',

as no one ever hears.

And (Bb)no one's there to notice them or take away their (Eb)fears.

"I'm Nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

(Bb)Just like a flower,

they're (Bb7)growin' (Eb)wild.

No Got no mommy's kisses, no daddy's smile.

(Bb)Nobody wants them, they're nobody's (Eb)child."

(Eb)In child.

child. (Bb)Nobody wants them, they're nobody's (Eb)child.
