letra de rider on an orphan train - hardy & massengill/the folk brothers

Loading...

[verse 1]
once i rode an orphan train
and my brother did the same
they split us up in missouri
james was five and i was three

[verse 2]
he got taken by some pair
but for me they did not care
we were brave and did not cry
when they made us say goodbye

[verse 3]
that was the last i saw of him
before some family took me in
but i swore i’d run away
and find my brother james someday

[verse 4]
i went back when i was grown
to see how old the children’s home
and i asked for to see my file
of when i was an orphan child

[verse 5]
it’s sad, they say, there’s been a flood
file washed away in missouri mud
sometimes life is a stone wall
you either climb or else you fall
[verse 6]
in every town, on every street
all the faces that i meet
and i wonder could one be
my brother james come back to me

[instrumental break]

[verse 7]
though i don’t know where he’s gone
i have searched my whole life long
now i roam from town to town
but there’s no orphan lost and found

[verse 8]
sometimes i dream a pleasant sight
my brother james and i unite
remembering our last goodbye
no longer brave, we start to cry

[verse 9]
i hope he lives a life of ease
and all his days a soft warm breeze
may he sit upon a throne
and may he never sleep alone
[verse 1]
once i rode an orphan train
and my brother did the same
they split us up in missouri
james was five and i was three
