Ted Hawkins Lyrics
"The Lost Ones"

Mama is dyin' and Daddy is gone
I'd call the doctor but there's no telephone
Sister is cryin' and the medicine is gone
We are the lost ones livin' all alone

Icebox is empty and the food is all gone
This wouldn't be happenin' if my Daddy was home
No school tomorrow and no love from Mama
We are the lost ones livin' all alone

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

I am not workin' because I am not old enough
My sisters are too small and they cannot help us
We've all tried prayin' but I don't know how to pray
We are the lost ones seekin' help today

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

Come help my mother and don't let her die
I am a big boy and I'm not supposed to cry
Come help my mother and bring him back home
We are the lost ones livin' all alone

We are the lost ones livin' all alone

We are the lost ones
