I am a orphan on God's highway
A D
But I'll share my troubles if you go my way
A E A
I have no mother no father no sister
D A E A
No brother I am an orphan girl
A E
I have had friendships pure and golden
A D
But the ties of kinship I had not known them
A E A
I know no mother no father no sister
D A E A
No brother I am an orphan girl
