Two Little Orphans Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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
