Hello
I'm trying to find the lyrics for this song by Kenneth Houchins. I miss some words or phrases. If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. English is not my mother tongue. The song is easily found on Youtube... Best, Martin


The Prisoner’s Child
Kenneth Houchins

There’s          in the heart of a mother
She misses her baby so bad
The funeral is over
The world is lonely and sad

In a prisoner’s home in
It’s not the truth, it’s all a dream
But two little hands are out of
They buried the prisoner’s child tonight

They buried the prisoner’s child tonight
In the cold of a six foot ground
The neighborhood is
For miles and miles around

They miss those dear little sparkling eyes
Those                 lips so
They miss that sweet little face so bright
They buried the prisoner’s child tonight

The angels have taken their love one
To live in their beautiful home
While those that so tenderly love her
Are left in sorrow alone

And the dear little dresses she use to wear
Are place with her plaything with tender care
sad and alone tonight
They miss her sweet face with his smile so bright
