Lyrics

Mama is dying and Daddy is gone
I'd call the doctor but there's no telephone
Sister is crying and the medicine is gone
We are the lost ones living all alone
Icebox is empty and the food is all gone
This wouldn't be happening if my daddy was home
No school tomorrow and no love from my mother
We are the lost ones living all alone
Come help my mother and don't let her die
I am a big boy and I'm not supposed to cry
Go get my daddy and bring him back home
We are the lost ones living all alone
I am not working because I am not old enough
My sisters are too small and they cannot help us
We've all tried praying but I don't know how to pray
We are the lost ones seeking help today
I'd call the neighbors but I don't even know their names
They've lived there ten years, oh, ain't that a shame?
Don't think they'd help us even if I asked them to
We are the lost ones seeking help from you
Come help my mother and don't let her die
I am a big boy and I'm not supposed to cry
Come help my mother and bring him back home
We are the lost ones living all alone
We are the lost ones living all alone
We are the lost ones
