Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: Nobody's Child
Lyrics for Album: In The Beginning [1961]



As I was slowly passing

an orphan's home one day,

I stopped for just a little while

to watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing

and when I asked him why,

he turned with eyes that could not see

and he began to cry.



I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

Just like the flowers

I'm growing wild.

I got no mummy's kisses

I got no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.



No mummy's arms to hold me

or sue me when I cry,

'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome

I wish that I could die.

I'll walk the streets of heaven

where all blinds can see.



And just like for the other kids

it will be a home for me.



I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

Just like the flowers

I'm growing wild.

I got no mummy's kisses

I got no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.


Nobody's Child

Recorded in 1961, "Nobody's Child" stands as a poignant early song in The Beatles' discography, reflecting the band's nascent style before their global dominance. The track, appearing on the compilation "In The Beginning [1961]," showcases the group's raw energy and emerging songwriting talents during their Hamburg and London formative years. As a staple of their early repertoire, the recording captures the transitional period where the quartet began to develop the melodic structures and emotional depth that would define their later work. Its inclusion in archival collections highlights its significance as a foundational piece in their catalog, offering listeners a glimpse into the creative process of one of the most influential acts in music history.
