lost little children
Where are my mama and daddy? They came a long time before me Now, we've come on the steamship Atlantic From our home far across the stormy sea  I have their letter in my pocket They said, we would meet on the pier But the day it is now, almost over And the darkness and cold, soon draw near  Will they know, their lost little children? As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now  We gave them, our four pounds and twenty One last look, at that green rocky shore And they told us, the new world has plenty But we'd never see Sligo, anymore  Will they know their lost little children? As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now  Hold to my hand little brother Be brave and please try not to cry For we have a good father and mother And soon we'll be safe by their side  Will they know their lost little children? As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now  Will they know their lost little children? As they look for my face in the crowd It's been so long since they've seen me And I wonder if they'll know me now
