Nobodys Child - Hank Snow

Nobodys Child chords

Someone asked for an old Hank Snow song, "Nobody's Child."
 Although Hank recorded it, the original was Harry Hibbs. Here it is.
 
 Nobody's Child
 
 As [D] I was slowly passing [D7] by an [G] orphan's home one day,
 I [A7] thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children [D] play.
 Alone, a boy was [D7] standing, and [G] when I asked him why,
 He [A7] turned with eyes that could not see and this was his re-[D] ply.
 
 Chorus>>>
 
 I'm [G] nobody's child, [A7] nobody's [D] child.
 [A7] I'm like a flower, just growing [D] wild.
 No mommy's [D7] kisses and no [G] daddy's smiles,
 Nobody [A7] wants me, I'm nobody's [D] child.
 
 People come for children to take them for their own,
 But they seem to pass me by and why I never know.
 I know they want to take me, but when they see I'm Blind,
 They always pick some other child and I am left behind.
 
 Repeat Chorus>>>

 No mommy's arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry,
 Sometimes I feel so lonely, I wish that I could die.
 I'll walk the street of heaven where all the blind can see,
 Then I'll be like other kids, There'll be a place for me.
 
 Repeat Chorus>>>
