Last week I was lonely
So I walked down to the park
There I met a little orphan girl
Who was cryin' in the dark
So I said

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come with me
My little orphan gi-irl
Forget the past and the tears you've known
Little orphan girl, my heart is your home

Her clothes were torn and dirty
And she said she had no home
Her mom and dad had passed out
So they left her all alone
And I said

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come with me
My lovely little orphan gi-irl
Forget the past and the tears you've known
Little orphan girl my heart is your home
Little orphan girl

We fell in love but she couldn't stay
Couldn't stay
My ol' folks said that we were too young
Too young to get married
So one night she ran awa-ay

Oh but I'll always love her
And everyday, I say a prayer
That one night I'll pass the park
And I'll find her waitin' there
And I'll say

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come with me
My little orphan girl
Forget the past and the tears you've known
Little orphan girl, my heart is your home
