Lost Little Children

歌詞

Where are my mama and daddy They came a long time before me Now we've come on the steamship Atlantic From our home far across the stormy sea I have their letter in my pocket They said we would meet on the pier But the day it is now almost over With the darkness and cold drawing near Will they know their lost little children As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now We gave them our four pounds and twenty One last look at the green rocky shore They told us the new world has plenty But we'd never see Sligo anymore Will they know their lost little children As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now Hold to my hand little brother Be brave and try not to cry We have a good father and mother And soon we'll be safe by their side Will they know their lost little children As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now Repeat chorus
