	Story Behind the Song When I was young, my mom told me a story. The story of her experience at an orphanage, where she spent most of her young years. She told me her story again, almost a year ago. It wasn't until about a week ago, (aug. 2002) that in an instant, I felt compelled to tell her story through a song. It was one of the immediate songs, written in about a half an hour, with no changes. I am convinced, though we never met, it's my grandmother's voice to my mom... Lyrics I'm just a little girl with my skinny legs without a family, in this orphanage My ma she left me a note today sewn in my favorite doll an I'm sad cuz' I left it in the rain An I can see it from this window pane It's raining harder an it's getting wet here comes the warden and she's throwin' it away filled with my mama's last words that I never read Sweet Patty I hope you understand cuz' your a good girl I didn't want to leave you like I did you know I love you and I hope that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them I'm married now with my own kids sometimes I swear that I, see you in them my girls they ask me where grandma went I tell them the story of that rainy day Sweet Patty I hope you understand cuz' your a good girl I didn't want to leave you like I did you know I love you and I hope that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them I just turned 60, this past spring I've got 4 grandkids an I, thank god for them don't know how I made it, without you here I'm just that little girl in that orphanage Sweet patty I hope you can hear me I want you to know that I never left You know I love you and I know that, you love me back don't forget these words sweet patty, carry them... carry them... carry them...
