Looking for Tn. mountain song about two little children sitting on church steps. Their mother had died and gone to heaven and they were found frozen to death in the morning. Thanks for any help.

Guest,ddevinsw@aol.com, "The Orphan's Lament" is the one you're looking for. Recorded by Jean Ritchie. On her double (CD) album, "None But One/High Hills And Mountains." Should be available. If not, let me know. I have it. GUEST, I can't find the hymn you're looking for. Good luck.

My aunt used to sing this song to us all the time. I have read the lyrics as posted, and this seems to be a condenced version. Does anyone have the original lyrics or know the origin of the song?

Thanks.
