Daniel Lanois mandolin/dulcimer Malcolm Burn tambourine Larry Mullen Jr hand drum Tony Hall stick drum Darul Johnson harmony vocal
AE I am a orphan on God's highway AD But I'll share my troubles if you go my way AEA I have no mother no father no sister DAEA No brother I am an orphan girl AE I have had friendships pure and golden AD But the ties of kinship I had not known them AEA I know no mother no father no sister DAEA No brother I am an orphan girl
SOLO
AE But when he calls me I will be Able AD To meet my family at God's table AEA I'll meet my mother my father my sister DAEA My brother no more an orphan girl AE Blessed savior make me willing AD And walk beside me until I'm with them AEA Be my mother my father my sister DAEA My brother I am an orphan girl AEA Be my mother my father my sister DAEA My brother I am an orphan girl EA I am an orphan girl
