While others are walking the street
Counting their silver and gold
I'm nobody's darling, I'm left alone in the cold
You played with my heart like a toy
Bright hopes you've taken from me

That's why nobody is darling and nobody cares for me
Nobody's darling am I
Heaven have mercy on me
I am nobody's darling and nobody cares for me

You in a warm cozy room you may be
With plenty of silver and gold
While you are loving your darling
I'm hungry friendless and cold
Each night and day I will pray
To meet you in heaven someday
The heart that once you have broken

Then we'll be happy and gay
I'm nobody's darling you see
Heaven have mercy on me
For I am nobody's darling and nobody cares for me
