The Little Girl

By John Michael Montgomery

Submitted by Bo McDowell

This has to be one of the prettiest songs I have heard in a long while

INTRO C F C F C Am G

C F C

Her parents never took the young girl to church

F D Am G

Never spoke of his name, never read her his words

C F C

Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world

F C Am G

Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs

She'd watch the T.V. and sit there on the couch

While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out

Am F

And the drinking and the fighting

C G

Just got worse every night

Am

Behind their couch

F

She'd be hiding

C G

Oh what a sad little life

And like it always does the bad just got worse

With every slap, and every curse

Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night

Used a gun on her mom, and then took his life

And some people from the city

Took the girl far away

To a new mom and a new dad

Kisses and hugs every day

Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in

And a small little girl, stared at a picture of him

She said I know that man up there on the cross

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

Cause he was there in my old house

And held me close to his side

As I hid there behind our couch

The night that my parents died

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG ENJOY
