[A]I am a orphan on God's [E]highway
But I'll share my [A]troubles if you go [D]my way
I have no [A]mother no f[E]ather no sis[A]ter
No b[D]rother [A] I am an o[E]rphan gir[A]l
[A]I have had friendships pure and [E]golden
But the ties of k[A]inship I had not [D]known them
I know no [A]mother no f[E]ather no sis[A]ter
No b[D]rother [A] I am an o[E]rphan gir[A]l
SOLO
[A]But when he calls me I will be [E]Able
To meet my [A]family at God's [D]table
I'll meet my m[A]other my [E]father my si[A]ster
My [D]brother [A] no more an [E]orphan gi[A]rl
[A]Blessed savior make me [E]willing
And walk [A]beside me until I'm [D]with them
Be my [A]mother my f[E]ather my si[A]ster
My [D]brother[A] I am an [E]orphan gi[A]rl
Be my [A]mother my f[E]ather my si[A]ster
My [D]brother[A] I am an [E]orphan gi[A]rl
I am an [E]orphan [A]girl
