Cat. #0822 (MFH #467) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 8, 1969
VERSE 1
No home, no home, pled a little girl
At th door of a Prince's hall
As she tremblin stood on th parlor step
And leaned on a marble wall
VERSE 2
Her clothes was thin an' her feet was bare
An' th snow h'd covered her head
O, give me a home, she peace'fly siad
A home an' a piece of bread
VERSE 3
Th rich man closed his door, an' snurled
No room nor bread for th poor
No room, no room, nor bread for th poor
As she murmured, so cold, so cold
VERSE 4
Th rich man lay on his velvet cot
An' dreamed of silver an' gold
While th poor little girl made 'er bed in snow
As she murmured, so cold, co cold
VERSE 5
I shall freeze, I shall freeze, as she fell on th floor
An' th tears streamed out'a her eye
O, give me a home, she peacefully said
A home an' a piece of bread
VERSE 6
Th morn'n dawned an' th poor little girl
Still lay at th rich man's door
But her soul awake in a new born home
Where there's room and bread for th poor
