Orphan Girl Songtext / Lyric

(Gillian Welch)



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 have not known them.



I know no mother

No father, no sister

No brother

I am an orphan girl.






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...
