Thread Name: ADD: Lost Little Children (O'Brien, Williams)
Subject: Tune Req: Title Unknown
I am looking for the title of a song. The song is about a child that is being sent overseas to meet up with his/her parents after having been separated for some time. The child wonders if the parents will recognize them. I have some of the lyrics...can anyone help?
It's been so long since they've seen me I wonder if they'll know me now
We gave them our four pound and twenty One last look at the great rocky shores They said that the new world had plenty And we never see ??? anymore
Will they know their lost little children When they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me I wonder if they'll know me now
Now hold to my hand little brother Be brave and please try not to cry We have a good father and mother And soon we'll be safe by their side
Will they know their lost little children When they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me I wonder if they'll know me now
