Standard (EADGBE)

I am a orphan on God's highway

But I'll share my troubles if you go my way

I have no mother no father no sister

No brother I am an orphan girl

I have had friendships pure and golden

But the ties of kinship I had not known them

I know no mother no father no sister

No brother I am an orphan girl

Solo

But when he calls me I will be Able

To meet my family at God's table

I'll meet my mother my father my sister

My brother no more an orphan girl

Blessed savior make me willing

And walk beside me until I'm with them

Be my mother my father my sister

My brother I am an orphan girl

Be my mother my father my sister

My brother I am an orphan girl

I am an orphan girl
