Robo Origins: Orphan Train (Utah Phillips) (25) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Utah Phillips 'Orphan Train' 28 Nov 00


Tom Russell does an Orphan train on his Man from God Knows Where cd; don't know if that's the one you mean. Starts off with . . .

"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.

"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 . . . "

If that's the one, I play it with simple G and D and C.
