a variation on ROW US OVER THE TIDE
from the Max Hunter Collection.

TWO LITTLE WANDERING ORPHANTS
(collected from T.R. Jammond, Osceola, Missouri 9/17/58)

Two little wandering orphants, one day
down by the lone riverside
Ventured at last to the boatman and pled
Row us over the tide

Row us over the tide, row us over the tide
Papa and Mamma have gone on before
Row us over the tide

Jesus so full of compassion and love
Answered the little ones cries
Took them to heaven to sorrow no more
He rowed them over the tide

Two little faces no more we shall see
Sweetly they sleep side by side
Jesus so full of compassion and love
He rowed them over the tide
He rowed them over the tide
He rowed them over the tide
Took them to heaven with loved ones to dwell
He rowed them over the tide
