I'm a Poor Little Orphan in this World lyrics

I'm a poor little orphan in this world

I'm a poor little orphan in this world

I'm a poor little orphan in this world

Good Lord! Can't stay here by myself

My mother broke the ice and gone

My mother broke the ice and gone

My mother broke the ice and gone

Good Lord! Can't stay here by myself

I promised her I'd follow on

I promised her I'd follow on

I promised her I'd follow on

Good Lord! Can't stay here by myself
