Nobody's Darling on Earth
Out in this cold world a 5 lone
Wand'ring a (4) bout on the 1 street
4 Asking a penny for 1 bread
5 Begging for something to 1 eat
Chorus
I'm nobody's darling on earth
Heaven have mercy on me
I am nobody's darling
And nobody cares for me
When I was but a young lad
Mother was taken from home
Now I have no one to love me
No one to call me their own
While others are sleeping so sound
Or dreaming of silver and gold
I'm out in this cold world alone
Wand'ring about in the cold
If I am fortunate enough
To get to that heavenly home
I will have someone to love me
Someone to call me their own
