As I pass slowly passing
An orphan's home one day
I stop for this moment
To watch a child playing
A little boy was standing
And when I asked if I
He turned with eyes I could not see
And he began to cry
For I am no' a nobody's child
I'm just like a flower
I'm growing by years
No mair air to say
And no fair air to my ears
Well nobody wants me
I'm no' a nobody's child
People come for children
And take them for nowhere
They always take the proudest sons
And I am left alone here
They said they'd like to take me
But when they hear I'm a Tim
They just turn round to another bloke
And say "Aye, we'll have him"
For I am no' a nobody's child
I'm just like a flower
I'm growing by years
No mair air to say
And no fair air to my ears
Well nobody wants me
I'm no' a nobody's child
