My real mommy and daddy went away
And left me and my brother all alone
Some people brought us to this place
And said it was our new home


A family took my little brother
To their home in the city to stay
I remember him when I say my prayers
And I miss him every day


A man and woman came to look me over
She was such a sweet and pretty lady
I really thought they were gonna pick me
But the man wanted a teeny-tiny baby


Sometimes I get to thinking
That I'll be here until I'm all grown
The people are really good to me
But I want a mommy of my own


I heard some people talking one day
A man said I'm getting too old
I cried and cried in my bed that night
And felt all scared and cold


I'll be on my best behavior
And promise not to eat a lot
Please pick me and take me home
Don't let me be forgot
