[00:00.40]A Drunkards Child - Hank Snow
[00:01.24]Written by：Andrew Jenkins/Jimmie Rodgers
[00:06.50]My father is a drunkard
[00:12.14]My mother she is dead
[00:17.72]And I am just an orphan child
[00:23.64]No place to lay my head
[00:29.37]All thru this world I wander
[00:35.06]They drive me from their door
[00:41.21]Some day I'll find a welcome
[00:46.51]On heaven's golden shore
[00:52.12]Now if to me you'll listen
[00:57.90]I'll tell my story sad
[01:03.54]How drinking rum and the gambling hell
[01:09.07]Has stole away my dad
[01:14.92]My mother she is in heaven
[01:20.67]Where God and the angels smile
[01:26.61]And now I know she's watching
[01:31.96]Her lonely orphan child
[02:24.12]We all were once so happy
[02:29.41]And had a happy home
[02:35.17]Till dad he went to drinking rum
[02:40.98]And then he gambled some
[02:46.78]He left my darling mother
[02:52.58]She died of a broken heart
[02:58.67]And as I tell my story
[03:03.99]I see your tear drops start
[03:09.60]Don't weep for me and mother
[03:15.38]All thru I know it is said
[03:21.01]But try to find someone to cheer
[03:26.76]And save my poor lonely dad
[03:32.40]I'm awful cold and hungry
[03:38.05]She closed her eyes and sighed
[03:43.91]Then those who heard her story
[03:49.33]Knew the orphan child has died
