No Mother or Dad

100%

Now Brother and I are all alone
We have no place to call our home
It will never be like home no more
'til we meet them on that other shore

Oh Mother dear and Daddy too
We wish that we were there with you
It's not the same since you're away
We'll see you Mother and Dad someday

Now Mother and Dad was old you know
It hurt us so to see them go
It's not the same since they are gone
Oh Mother and Dad we're so alone

Our little home will tumble down
Since Mother and Dad are not around
What is a home without a friend
I can never go back home again
