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
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
