Performed By John M. Montgomery

D
Her parents never took the young girl to church
                                                 E    
           A
never spoke of his name,  never read her his word
D
Two non-belivers walking lost in this world
                                        
E              A
took their baby with-in,  what a sad little girl
D
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
                                        E             
       A
never wanted to play,  or give kisses and hugs
D
She'd watch the T.V. and sit there on the couch

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



                                                     E
              A
while her mom fell asleep,  and her daddy went out
G                                    A
And the drinking, and the fighting
D                             A
Just got worse every night
           G                            A
behind their couch she'd be hiding
D                          A
oh what a sad little life
D
Just like it always does,  the bad just got worse
                                E         A
with every slap,  and every curse
D
untill her daddy hit a drunk rage one night
                                            E         
        A
used a gun on her mom, and then took his life
                                      
G                    A      D                    A
And some people from the city, took the girl far away
                                
G                    A          D                 A
to a new mom and a new dad, kisses and hugs everyday
D
Her first day of sunday school, the teacher walked in
                                               E      
      A
and a small little girl stared at a picture of him
D
she said I know that man up there on that cross
                                          E           
    A
I dont know his name but I know he got off
G                                      A
Cause he was there in my old house
D                                  A
and held me close to his side
       G                       A
as I hid there behind our couch
D                                   A
the night that my parents died
