Penny Song
A penny please mister a penny today
Pennies make dollars I’ve heard daddy say
I’m going to see momma she lives far away
A penny please mister a penny today

The old man looked down at the boy in the street
He looked down at his little hands no shoes upon his feet
His mind wondered back how time had gone by
He looked at the little boy it almost made him cry

A penny please mister a penny today
Pennies make dollars I’ve heard daddy say
I’m going to see momma she lives far away
A penny please mister a penny today

It wasn’t that long ago that old man was a lad
He thought about his many years and all that he had
He looked down at the little boy as brave as he could be
But his own lonely childhood is all that he could see

A penny please mister a penny today
Pennies make dollars I’ve heard daddy say
I’m going to see momma she lives far away
A penny please mister a penny today
A penny please mister she’s far far away
