D
(início)
D A7 Once I had a darling mother, though I can't recall her name D I had a baby brother who I'll never see again G For the Children's Home is sending us out on the Orphan Train D A7 D To try to find someone to take us in
Chorus
D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan Train A7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us in G oh won't you be our kin D A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
Verse 2
D A7 I have stolen from the poorbox, I've begged the city streets D I've swabbed the bars and poolrooms for a little bite to eat G In my daddy's old green jacket and these rags upon my feet D A7 D I've been looking for someone to take me in
Chorus
D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan Train A7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us in G oh won't you be our kin D A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
Verse 3
D A7 The Children's Home they gathered us, me and all the rest D They taught us to sit quietly until all the food was blest G Then they put us on the Orphan Train and sent us way out West D A7 D To try to find someone to take us in
Chorus
D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan Train A7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us in G oh won't you be our kin D A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
Verse 4
D A7 The farmers and their families they came from miles around D We lined up on the platform of the station in each town G And one by one we parted like some living lost-and-found D A7 D And one by one we all were taken in
Chorus
D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan Train A7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us in G oh won't you be our kin D A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
Verse 5
D A7 Now there's many a fine doctor or a teacher in your school D There's many a good preacher who can preach the Golden Rule G Who started out an orphan standing in the freezing rain D A7 D Whose life began out on the Orphan Train.
Chorus
D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan Train A7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us in G oh won't you be our kin D A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
