Poor Little Orphaned Boy

             G                                                    D                         G 
    My mother died when I was young, my sisters they were sad, 
                                                                    D                           G 
    they lay their hands upon my head and taught me how to pray. 

       G                                 C                         G                    D 
So now my mother she's gone to rest in the land of purest joy, 
           G                                                D                        G 
and I wonder if she thinks of me, her poor little orphan boy. 

( G D G G D G ) 
  
             G                                           D                    G 
    When I was only two years old, I never shall forget, 
                                                        D                         G 
    a parting kiss she gave to me, I sometimes feel it yet. 

       G                                 C                         G                    D 
So now my mother she's gone to rest in the land of purest joy, 
           G                                                D                        G 
and I wonder if she thinks of me, her poor little orphan boy. 

( G D G G D G ) 

             G                                                 D                       G 
    When I was sick and every hour she watched me as I lay, 
                                                                       D                         G 
    and with her kind and gentle hand she smoothed me tenderly. 

       G                                 C                         G                    D 
So now my mother she's gone to rest in the land of purest joy, 
           G                                                D                        G 
and I wonder if she thinks of me, her poor little orphan boy. 

( G D G G D G ) 

           G                                                 D                            G 
    So now I press this world alone, her love with me shall stay, 
                                                                         D                          G 
    and from the throne above the skies her smiles shall rest on me. 

       G                                 C                         G                    D 
So now my mother she's gone to rest in the land of purest joy, 
           G                                                D                        G 
and I wonder if she thinks of me, her poor little orphan boy.
