"Rider on an Orphan Train" by Tom Russell, off album "The Man from God Knows Where"
C G
Once I rode an orphan train
G7 C
And my brother did the same
F
They split us up in Missouri
C G C
James was five and I was three
G
He got taken by some pair
F C
But for me they did not care
F
We were brave and did not cry
C G C
When they made us say goodbye
F
That was the last I saw of him
C G
Before some family took me in
C F
But I swore I'd run away
C G C
And find my brother James someday
G
I went back when I was grown
F C
To find our old Children's Home
F
And I asked for to see my file
C G C
Of when I was an orphan child
G
It's sad, they say, there's been a flood
F C
File washed away in Missouri mud
F
Sometimes life is a stone wall
C G C
You either climb, or else you fall
F
In every town, on every street
C G
All the faces that I meet
C F
And I wonder, could this one be
C G C
My brother James come back to me
G
Though I don't know where he's gone
G7 C
I have searched my whole life long
F
Now I roam from town to town
C G C
But there's no orphan lost-and-found
F
Sometimes I dream a pleasant sight
C G
My brother James and I unite
C F
Remembering our last goodbye
C G C
No longer brave, we start to cry
F
I hope he lives a life of ease
C G
And all his days a soft, warm breeze
C F
May he sit upon a throne
C G C
And may he never sleep alone
G
Once I rode an orphan train
G7 C
And my brother did the same
F
They split us up in Missouri
