Verse 1
(D major) (G major) My (D major) (G major) name is
Anna
(C major) Olsson, (G major) living
(C major) Norway was (D major) (C major) so (G major) hard
I watched my nearest (C major) neighbors now (G major)
planting fruit (C major) trees in (G major) their (D major) yard
Their (C major) dreaming of the (G major) old land
has but (C major) added to their (D major) tears
As (G major) most of their young (C major) children died (G major) be
fore (C major) they (D major) reached six (G major) years (D major)
(G major) Unmarried me a
(C major) Svalbard man, (G major) praise
(C major) God we (D major) fared quite (G major) well
While others fled in (C major) dark of night (G major)
from (C major) land to produ (D major) cer
Some (C major) hung themselves in (G major) apple
trees on (C major) broken bankrupt farms (D major)
The (G major) sun would rise on (C major) rotten fruit (G major) and
the (C major) smoke of (D major) burning barns (G major)
American prim (D major) itive man, (C major)
Americ (D major) (G major) an prim (D major) itive man (C major)
(D major) He (G major) never touched (B minor) me with an (E minor) angry hand,
(C major)
Amer (G major) ican prim (D major) itive man (G major)
This (D major) land was conquered horseback, (G major)
its (D major) horses now we (G major) race
Percher (D major) ons and
(G major) Clydesdales are (D major) trained in farming (G major) ways
Our (A major) daylight's gone to (D major) dusty work,
the (A major) night is storms an (D major) d fright
And the (A major) lonesome sound of (D major) orphan trains
whist (A major) ling through the (D major) night
An (G major) d when the wind moves (C major) through the
barley (G major) and the (C major) owls be (D major) gin to (G major) moan
Makes the body mournful (C major) (G major) for the
(C major) wars we've left back (D major) home
So (C major) many nights I (G major) watched the storm,
I (C major) stared out through the (D major) rain
And (G major) dreamt (B minor) of (G major) our de (C major) parted boy
(G major) Riding (C major) on the (D major) orphan train (G major)
The son who (B minor) ran away (E minor) from (C major) us
On (G major) that (D major) orphan train (G major)
