Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Orphan Girl

I am an 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

The ties of kinship 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

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
