I have it on tape by Daniel O'Donnell. It also makes me cry when I hear it.

Jim, Keep hold of your copy it may be worth a fortune as it must be half a century old. lol. Tina

I remember Lonnie Donegan singing that one, always put a lump in my throat. I have it on vinyl somewhere Jim

Yes Linda , thats the one, when i hear it it makes me cry, having just read the words im now sitting here with a big lump in my throat. Tina

These words are slightly different but are the ones i remember The Alexander Brothers singing...and of course Billy Connolly had his own version! As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day, I thought I'd stop a little while just 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 a flower, I'm growing wild. No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. People come for children, And take them for their own. But they all seem to pass me, And I'm left here all alone. I know they'd like to take me, But when they see I'm blind, They always take some other child, And I am left behind. I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child. Just like a flower, I'm growing wild. No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. No mommy's arms to hold me, Or soothe me when I cry. Sometimes it gets so lonely, I wish that I could die. I'll 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 a flower, I'm growing wild. No momma's kisses and no daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child. Christine
