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
                                C      G                                         C  
James was five                 and I was three
