Artificial Flowers

Words and Music by Hmck 6k Bock

Alone in the world
Was poor

Liitle Ann

As sweet a young
Child as you'd find

Her parents had
Gone to their
Final reward

Leavin' their
Baby behind

Did you hear this,
Poor little child,

Was only nine years,
Of age,

When Mother and Dad,
Went away?

Still she bravely
Worked

At the one thing
She knew

To earn her few
Pennies a day

She made
Artificial flowers

Artificial flowers

Flowers for ladies
Of fashion to wear

She made
Artificial flowers

You know those
Artificial flowers

Fashioned from
Annie's despair

With paper and
Shears, with some

Wire and wax

She made up
Each tulip and mum

As snowflakes
Drifted into her
Tenement room

Her baby little
Fingers grew numb...

From making
Artificial flowers

Those
Artificial flowers

Flowers for ladies
Of high fashion

To wear

She made
Artificial flowers

Artificial flowers
Made from
Annie's despair

They found little Annie
All covered with ice

Still clutching her
Poor folding shears

Amidst all the
Blossoms

She had fashioned
By hand

There must be
A heaven

Where little Annie
Can play

In heavenly
Gardens and bowers

And instead
Of a halo

She'll wear
'Round her head

A garden of
Genuine flowers!

No more
Artificial flowers

Throw away those
Artificial flowers

Flowers for ladies
Of society to wear

Throw away those
Artificial flowers

Fashioned from
Annie's...

Fashioned from
Annie's despair...!
