Two little children a boy and a girl   Sat by and old church door   The little girls feet were as brown as the curl   That fell on the dress that she wore.      The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn   They shone beneath his blue eyes   Why don't you go home to your mommy i said   And this was the maidens reply.      Mommy's is heaven angels took her away   Left jim and i all alone   We've no one to love us daddy is dead   And our darling mother is gone.      Mommy got sick angels took her away   To dwell in those matins so bright   She said she would come for her children someday   And i guess she's coming tonight.      The sexton came early to ring the church bell   And found them beneath the snow white   The angels made room for the orphans to dwell   Up in heaven with their mommy that night...
