The Poor Orphan Child (key: D)
Recorded by the Carter Family, 8/1/27, Bristol, Tn
[D] I hear a low faint voice that cries, pa-[A7]-pa and mamma's [D] dead
It comes from the poor orphan child who [A7] must be clothed and [D] fed
Oh it [G] comes from the poor [D] orphan child who [A7] must be clothed and [D] fed
It [G] comes from the poor [D] orphan child who [A7] must be clothed and [D] fed
Savior lead them by the hand
Savior [A7] lead them by the [D] hand
Savior [G] lead them by the [D] hand
Till they [A7] all reach that glittering strand
There are so many children now, poor little boys and girls
Who once had mother's loving hands to smooth their golden curls
Who once had mother's loving hands tosmooth their golden curls
Who once had mother's loving hands to smooth their golden curls
But now we've seen those wandering curls hang careless round their brows
They say to us my papa's dead, and I've no mother now
They say to us my papa's dead, and I've no mother now
They say to us my papa's dead, and I've no mother now
Oh, Savior every orphan bless wherever they may roam
Bless every hand that leaves them aid, and bless the orphan's home
Bless every hand that leaves them aid, and bless the orphan's home
Bless every hand that leaves them aid, and bless the orphan's home
CHORUS
