D A7 Once I had a darling mother, though I can't recall her nameD I had a baby brother who I'll never see againG For the Children's Home is sending us out on the Orphan TrainD A7 D To try to find someone to take us in [Chorus]D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan TrainA7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us inG oh won't you be our kinD 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 streetsD I've swabbed the bars and poolrooms for a little bite to eatG In my daddy's old green jacket and these rags upon my feetD A7 D I've been looking for someone to take me in [Chorus]D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan TrainA7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us inG oh won't you be our kinD 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 restD They taught us to sit quietly until all the food was blestG Then they put us on the Orphan Train and sent us way out WestD A7 D To try to find someone to take us in [Chorus]D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan TrainA7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us inG oh won't you be our kinD A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in [Verse 4]D A7 The farmers and their families they came from miles aroundD We lined up on the platform of the station in each townG And one by one we parted like some living lost-and-foundD A7 D And one by one we all were taken in [Chorus]D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan TrainA7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us inG oh won't you be our kinD 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 schoolD There's many a good preacher who can preach the Golden RuleG Who started out an orphan standing in the freezing rainD A7 D Whose life began out on the Orphan Train. [Chorus]D Take us in, we have rode the Orphan TrainA7 D Take us in, we need a home, we need a name, take us inG oh won't you be our kinD A7 D We are looking for someone to take us in
