I am an orphan girl
Mother and father have I none
I've wondered all alone
Never had I a home
I've walked this road of tears
Trying to find some peace
I've never known my own
Known my own
I am an orphan girl
Looking for what was mine
Remember what mamma said
She said I'm gonna buy you a ring
She said
Hush little baby don't say a word
Mamma's gonna buy you a mocking bird
I'd like to find my song
Then I'd sing it for ma and pa
But heavens my only tune
I'll be there soon
I am an orphan girl
Mother and father have I none
I've wondered all alone
Never had I a home
