The Little Girl

C Am C

Her parents never took the young girl to church

Am C Am G

Never mentioned his name, never mentioned his word

C Am C

Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world

Am C Am G

Took their baby with them what a sad little girl

C Am C

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

Am C Am G

Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs

C Am C

She’d watch the TV and sit there on the couch

Am C Am G

While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out…

(CHORUS)

Am F

And the drinking and the fighting

C G

Just got worse every night

Am F

Behind their couch she’d be hiding

C G

Oh what a sad little life

C Am C

And like it always does the bad just got worse

Am C Am G

With every slap and every curse

C Am C

Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

Am C Am G

Used a gun on her mom and then took his life

(CHORUS)

Am F

And some people from the city

C G

Took the girl far away

Am F

To a new mom and a new dad

C G

Kisses and hugs everyday

C

Her first day of Sunday school

Am C

The teacher walked in

Am C Am G

And a sad little girl stared at a picture of him

C Am C

She said I know that man up there on that cross

Am C Am G

I don’t know his name, but I know he got off

(CHORUS)

Am F

Cause he was there in my old house

C G

And held me close to his side

Am F

As I hid there behind our couch

C G

The night that my parents died
