Two Little Orphans

Two little children, a boy and a girl sat by an old church door
 The little girl's feet were as brown as the curl that fell on the dress that she wore
 The little boy's 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 maiden's reply
 "Mommy's in heaven, angels took her away"
 Left Jim and I all alone"
 We've no one to love us, and daddy is dead"
 "And our darling mother is gone"
 Mommy got sick, angels took her away
 To dwell in those mansions 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
