G  355433
Bb 688766

[Verse 1]
G       Bb        D#         Bb
 Mama is dyin' and Daddy is gone
G             Bb                 D#       F
  I'd call the doctor but there's no telephone
G         Bb             D#            Bb
 Sister is cryin' and the medicine is gone
Bb          D#                    F
We are the lost ones livin' all alone

G         Bb            D#         Bb
 Icebox is empty and the food is all gone
G                Bb              D#          F
 This wouldn't be happenin' if my Daddy was home
G            Bb         D#             Bb
 No school to-morrow and no love from Mama
Bb        D#                     Bb
We are the lost ones livin' all alone


[Chorus 1]
G                                       F
 Come help my mother and don't let her die
G                                        F
 I am a big boy and I'm not supposed to cry
G                                    F
 Go get my daddy and bring him back home
Bb                   D#          Bb
 We are the lost ones livin' all alone


[Verse 2]
G        Bb              D#         Bb
 I am not workin' because I am not old enough
G              Bb                 D#           F
 My sisters are too small and they cannot help us
G               Bb          D#            Bb
 We've all tried prayin' but I don't know how to pray
Bb           D#                       F
 We are the lost ones seekin' help today

G            Bb            D#            Bb
 I'd call the neighbors but I don't even know their names
G                   Bb           D#              F
 They've lived there ten years oh ain't that a shame
G                  Bb      D#         Bb
 Don't think they'd help us even if I asked them to
Bb           D#                         Bb
 We are the lost ones seekin' help from you


[Chorus 2]
G                                       F
 Come help my mother and don't let her die
G                                        F
 I am a big boy and I'm not supposed to cry
G                                        F
 Come help my mother and bring him back home
Bb           D#                    Bb
 We are the lost ones livin' all alone


[Outro]
Bb           D#                    Bb
 We are the lost ones livin' all alone (x3)
