    • Verse 1
    Once 
    I 
    rode 
    an 
    orphan 
    train 

    and 
    my 
    brother 
    did 
    the same 

    they 
    split 
    us 
    up 
    in 
    Missourri 

    James 
    was 
    five 
    and 
    I 
    was 
    three 

    Verse 2
    He 
    got 
    taken 
    by 
    some 
    parent 

    but 
    for 
    me 
    they 
    did 
    not 
    care 

    We 
    were 
    brave 
    and 
    did 
    not 
    cry 

    When 
    they 
    made 
    us 
    say 
    good
    bye 

    Verse 3
    That 
    was 
    the 
    last 
    I 
    saw 
    of 
    him 

    Before 
    a 
    fam
    ily 
    took 
    me 
    in 

    But 
    I 
    swore 
    I'd 
    run 
    away 

    and 
    find 
    my 
    brother, 
    James, 
    one 
    day 

    Verse 4
    I 
    went 
    back 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    grown 

    to 
    find 
    our 
    old 
    childrens 
    home 

    and 
    I 
    asked 
    for 
    to see 
    my 
    file 

    of 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    an 
    orphan 
    child 

    Verse 5

    It's 
    sad, 
    they 
    say, 
    there's 
    been 
    a 
    flood 

    file 
    washed 
    away 
    in 
    the 
    Mis

    sourri mud 

    Sometimes 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    stone
    wall 

    either 
    climb, 
    or 
    else 
    you 
    fall 

    Verse 6

    In 
    every 
    town 
    on 
    every 
    street 

    All 
    the faces 
    that 
    I 
    meet 

    And 
    I 
    wonder, 
    could 
    one 
    be 

    My 
    brother 
    James, 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    me 

    Verse 7

    No 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    he's 
    gone 

    and 
    I 
    have 
    searched 
    my 
    whole 
    life 
    long 

    Now 
    I 
    roam 
    from 
    town 
    to town 

    But 
    there's 
    no 
    orphan 

    lost 
    and 
    found 

    Verse 8

    Sometimes 
    I 
    dream 
    a 
    pleas
    ant 
    sight 

    My 
    brother 
    James 
    and 
    I 
    unite 

    Remem
    bering 
    our 
    last 
    good
    bye 

    No 
    longer 
    brave, 
    we 
    start 
    to 
    cry 

    Verse 9

    I 
    hope 
    he 
    lives 
    a 
    life 
    of 
    ease 

    and 
    all 
    his 
    days 
    a soft 
    warm 
    breeze 

    And 
    may 
    he 
    sit 
    upon 
    a throne 

    And 
    may 
    he 
    never 
    sleep 

    Interlude 1
    alone 


    Verse 10
    Once 
    I 
    rode 
    an 
    orphan 
    train 

    And 
    my

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
