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.
