Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Orphan Girl

Orphan Girl

Orphan Girl
 (Gillian Welch)

 I am an orphan, on g-d's highway,
 And I'll share my troubles, if you go my way,
 I've got 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've known no mother, no father, no sister, no brother,
 I am an orphan girl.

 When he calls me, I will be able,
 To meet my family, at g-d's table,
 I'll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother,
 No more an orphan girl.

 Blessed savior, make me willing,
 Walk beside me, until I'm with them,
 Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother,
 I am an orphan girl.
 I am an orphan girl.
