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
