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
