Think of th many children now
Poor little boys an' girls
Who once't had Mothers lov'in hand
To soothe their golden curls
Who once had Mothers lov'in hand
To soothe their golden curls
Who once't had Mothers lov'in hand
To soothe their golden curls

An' bless th orphants home
Bless ever hand that leads them aid
An' bless th orphants home
VERSE 3
