lyrics
I am an 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 have 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
I am an orphan on God's highway
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 no mother, no father
No sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
I am an orphan girl
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 have 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
I am an orphan on God's highway
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 no mother, no father
No sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
I am an orphan girl

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovansupported by 26 fans who also own “Orphan Girl (Live from Cantab in Cambridge, MA - November 20, 2001)”
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
