Modern Lullaby

Daddy didn't have a penny to his name
 And mama's only got a dollar or two
 Daddy was a drifter, and he'll always be the same
 Well, he packed his bags when he heard about you
 Mama doesn't have a chance
 She was young and she fell to romance
 Baby doesn't have a chance
 But mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find little baby a chance
 I got no home, none to run to
 No warm fire, no backyard
 All I've got is some love to give you
 Just keeping you fed is gonna be hard
 Mama doesn't have a chance
 She was young and she fell to romance
 Baby doesn't have a chance
 But mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find little baby a chance
 All you little stars twinkling up above
 You will be my diamond ring
 You sparkle bright for us tonight
 'Cause we need all the luck that you can bring
 'Cause mama doesn't have a chance
 She was young and she fell to romance
 Baby doesn't have a chance
 But mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find one
 Mama's going to find little baby a chance
 Oh yes, all you little stars twinkling up above
 Gonna help mama find little baby a chance
