A                      E
I am a orphan on God's highway
                  A                   D
But I'll share my troubles  if you go my way
          A          E           A 
I have no mother no father no sister
    D      A           E        A           
No brother    I am an orphan girl
A                               E   
I have had friendships pure and golden
                 A                D  
But the ties of kinship I had not known them
          A          E           A 
I know no mother no father no sister
    D      A           E        A           
No brother    I am an orphan girl

To meet my family at God's table
              A         E           A 
I'll meet my mother  my father my sister
   D        A            E        A  
My brother    no more an orphan girl
