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 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
