• No Home, No Place To Pillow My Head

1. Once I was happy with heart free from care
Had a Daddy and Mama so sweet
Dolls and a doggie and playthings so dear,
And stockings and shoes on my feet
But now through this world I must wander alone
Begging for pennies and bread
For I have no Daddy no Mama nor home,
No place to pillow my head.
CHORUS
No home, no home
No place to pillow my head
The day seems so sad and the night is so long
Since Daddy and Mama are dead.
I long for those hands so gentle and warm
That tucked me away in my bed
I miss that sweet voice and the lullaby song
At night when my prayers are said.
No one was so kind, so gentle and true
No treasure more precious could be
In a beautiful garden in Heaven above
I know she is waiting for me.
3. My daddy is resting far over the sea
In the fields where poppies peep through
Mark'd by the cross that shrines the green lea
Beside his comrade so true.
His soul it has gone to the Father above
May his slumber be peaceful and sweet
The battle is over for him over there
The bugle has sounded retreat.
