Drunkard's Lone Child

Written by: [Traditional]
Language: English
Comments: This song as well as Jimmie Rodgers' Drunkard's Child are derived from broadside ballads of similar names warning of the evils of drinking. The two songs have significant thematic and lyrical overlap and share a common origin.
Opening line "I'm alone, all alone, my friends all have fled, my father, he's a drunkard; my mother, she is dead.I'm a poor little child and I wander and weep"
