Nobody's Child Lyrics
As I was slowly passing
An orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry
I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I am growing wild
I've got no mammy's kisses
I've got no, no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
No mammy's arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cry
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of Heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm, I'm growing wild
I've got no mammy's kisses
I've got no, no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
An orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I am growing wild
I've got no mammy's kisses
I've got no, no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
Or soothe me when I cry
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of Heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm, I'm growing wild
I've got no mammy's kisses
I've got no, no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

wow that's sad.
this isnt a beatles song, its a beatle-solo-career-song. i hate when people mix the songs up with actual-beatle and post-beatle-i-need-money-to-fund-my-divorse-song.
actually, the song was written to fund a orphanage, im not too sure on where
Actually, the Beatles did record this song with Tony Sheridan in 1961. George Harrison later recorded it again with the Traveling Wilburys in 1990.
