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
