song for my uncle Jimmy, one of his party pieces

[azlynazeem]

sung with so much feeling and empathy. Great

[annemaefraser]

Just heard a version of Nobody's Child sung by the traveling Wilburys - good- but not as good as the Alexander Brothers

[tweds1]

they are the best I have love them all my 47 years of life, good friends of ours.

[bobbertram1]

To Janet & Elizbeth; if you ever see this - you will know who you are and who I am - memories indeed! 13 & 30 Crichton Road! "Aye Mindit"

[hawickman]

As an adopted child, this is a hard hitting song. I am lucky that I found my family. But, how many "noboy's children" are out there?

[bobbertram1]

Methinks not too far from you pal; but we (as a family) have 3 and all are loved like nothing on earth! SLAINTE VAR, SLAINTE VOR

[Paxtoranious]

For all the poor children that we continue to hurt especially the little ones without their parents in Gaza,... compassion is a gift, a virtue and divinely inspired.

My mothers favorite song. We had their albums when I was a child,so I remember these old songs fondly.

[AngelNavarroMunoz]

I think Lonnie Donnagan made the original, he might even have written it

[historicbloke]

"Nobody's Child" is a song written by Cy Coben and Mel Foree. and many great stars did a cover of the song

[cowsandcavys]

who sings the original?

[Luck4eva]

he..hehehheheheheheehehe

sorry but this song is kinda funny.....

[PaulDeLaWare]

It's a beautuful song and there's nothing funny about being blind at all. I'm blind and I have to type in brail. My brother read your comment to me. I think you need counselling and I also feel sorry for you I wouldn't swap my lack of eyesight for your sick sense of humour. Not for one minute

[Luck4eva]

hey, i really didnt mean anything, i just listened to the begining and found the tune funny, thats it, nothing more, if i offended anyone, im really sorry i really wasnt laughing about being blind...my friend is blind....

[PaulDeLaWare]

Hi Luck4eva. Thank you very much for your opology. My brother read your bio and tells me you're only 17. We have all done and said silly things when we were young. But at least you are man enough to opologise. I hope you have a good life ahead of you. You sound like a nice person. Good luck. Paul.

[tabscrew]

Life --- Let me explain.

I'll start by saying the boys music is always playing in our home and has been for at least 45 years, Twenty years ago my granddaughter became very ill and was hospitalized, went into a coma and it was said she may not make it, so I started playing TABs music at her bedside a few days later she woke up, the doctors says it was that GENTLE VOICE not there medicine that did the trick. Today she is a vibrant young lady who wants to say thanks in person

DIana's Gran

[reggaesenga]

just read the comments and they bring back memories of being left outside the pub wi your crisps and juice ....... my dear mam used to sing this song and at the time i thought it was about us kids coz my daddy died wen we was weans but now i know she was singin it about her own life and i only just found out she lost her mammie wen she was 5 and her daddie didnt want her .......wot a bastard  my mam also passed away wen she was in her 40s ..if i new then wot i no now maybe i culdve made a diff

[ozgribbo]

I liked the original better - when they had better fitting false teeth!

[tabscrew]

[oanraroad]

when i was a wean my younger cousin sang this song at parties and family gatherings, the adults, usually full of alchohol, sat with tears in their eyes listening to it, and bunged him a few bob, little bugger made a killing wi the dosh, to all out there, all the best from a travelling scot, blessed be and merry meet.

[fluffypechey]

It ia also a favourite of mine to do at parties it has the same effect everytime lol.

[glesgaterry]

Ma dad used to sing this song at the New Year parties. My husband who is from England thought I was kiddin when I told him the words of this song. Brilliant!!!

[Promoagent]

I wish they would re release the original pye version to this one and all the other original pye recordings they were brilliant these guys at the time. We used tae hiv hoose parties back in the 60s and 70s and they always hid the Alexander brothers sweet memories

[Gapples007]

Singing shortbread tins lol

But seriously I was taken to see these guys play much against my will as a kid of about 14, though I never dared to admit it as a child I really quite enjoyed it, trhanks to my parents who maybe just had better taste than me LOL
