Oh My dear Dad. I found your old song..I cannot believe it.. He use to sing only the first few verses.. May God keep him in mind during the resurrection time.. How I miss him so.. In memory of my dad.. John James lelacheur.. R.I.P. Love Joaniexxxxooo
0:15 My father is a drunkard my mother she is dead And I am just an orphan child no place to lay my head All through this world I wander they drive me from their door Someday I'll find a welcome on heaven's golden shore 0:55 Now if to me you'll listen I'll tell a story sad How drinking rum and the gambling hell have stole away my dad My mother is in heaven where God and the angels smile And now I know she's watching her lonely orphan child 1:46 We all were once so happy and had a happy home Till daddy went to drinking rum and then he gambled some He left my darling mother she died of a broken heart And as I tell my story I see your teardrops start 2:25 Don't weep for me and mother although I know it is sad But try to get someone to cheer and save my poor lonely dad I'm awful cold and hungry she closed her eyes and sighed Then those who heard her story knew the orphan child had died
This brings back a flood of warm memories of my Father who used to sing and pick this song in the classic Jimmie Rodgers style.....Thank you for posting this for everyones enjoyment...

Hello Joan
I’m sorry for your loss, but these good old memories keep us company. God bless.
God Bless you and your Dad❤
I can see why he was so well loved. He sang about things that people could really relate to in a clear and soothing style.
Hes tops ... Somebody pointed out before he reuses the same chords in all his songs ... Well yeah , but it suits his storytelling style
@@missbritt288when you're telling the stories the music is only the backdrop
old song, very nice, bring me lot's of old memories.
Beautiful song. Thank god it's here for everyone to listen. Along with all his songs.
Beautifully sung and written but sadly it's a reality in many homes
Reminds me of my grandma she used to always sing this song 😭😭❤️ thank you for this 🥰
Fantastic song and singer thanks for this great post
0:15 My father is a drunkard my mother she is dead
And I am just an orphan child no place to lay my head
All through this world I wander they drive me from their door
Someday I'll find a welcome on heaven's golden shore
0:55 Now if to me you'll listen I'll tell a story sad
How drinking rum and the gambling hell have stole away my dad
My mother is in heaven where God and the angels smile
And now I know she's watching her lonely orphan child
1:46 We all were once so happy and had a happy home
Till daddy went to drinking rum and then he gambled some
He left my darling mother she died of a broken heart
And as I tell my story I see your teardrops start
2:25 Don't weep for me and mother although I know it is sad
But try to get someone to cheer and save my poor lonely dad
I'm awful cold and hungry she closed her eyes and sighed
Then those who heard her story knew the orphan child had died

Same with me. My Dad was 10 years old and his Dad was a minor and passed away in 1929. My Dad had all this old music.
Thank you thank you I always remember my father with this song wooow wooow
They played this song in "That Evening Sun" - a GREAT movie!!
