(1) BY THE RIVER WHERE THE BLACK MUD'S THICK,AND THE FOLK'SD DUMP THEIR JUNK AND RUN QUICK,I WAS
FOUND, LYING ON THE GROUND,IN A CARPET BAG THAT'D SEEN A FEW NIGHT FLITS.<R 10>
CHORUS I KNOW LIFE'S TOUGH AND DREAMS AIN'T MUCH,IN EMPTY POCKET CAST ASIDES,I CAN STILL HEAR THEM
SCHOOL KIDS JEAR,YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN ORPHAN CHILD.<R 11>
(2) IN A SHACK BY A RAILROAD TRACK,THE EARLY MORNING FREIGHT'D WAKE ME,I GREW UP TO THE RUMBLE OF
TRUCKS,WITH THE POOR FOLK WHO TOOK PITY AND RAISED ME.<R 12>
(3) GET A KICK WHEN I SEE THEM SAME HICKS,ALL A-GROVELLING A FORCING SMILES,NOW I'M RICH AND THEY
WANT JOBS FIXED,THEY FORGET I WAS AN ORPHAN CHILD.
