Orphan Song

I'm just a child, just a child with no mother
No one to tell me that I've grown my hair too long
I'm just a child, just a child with no father
No one to scold me when he knows I'm doing wrong

I'm just a child, just a child with no brother
No one to tell me that I'm better with you gone
I'm just a child, just a child with no sister
Gone up and left me
Don't know how to get along

Dip my bottle in some bourbon
So I can get some sleep
Rest my head upon your shoulder
Till I'm older and I know
Just where I belong

I'm just a child, just a child with no answers
Head back to Ohio
They say that's where I'm from
I'm just a child who knows better than to wander
Should know I can't go home
Whеn home's packed up and gone

Dip my bottlе in some bourbon
So I can get some sleep
Rest my head upon your shoulder
Till I'm older and I know
Just where I belong

Someday we'll all come back
Someday we'll say "welcome back”
