lyrics
My feet they are sore and my limbs they are weary
Long is the way and the mountains are wide
Soon will a twilight close moonless and dreary
Over the path of the poor orphan child
Why did they send me so far and so lonely
Up where the moores spread and gray rocks are piled
Men are hard-hearted and kind angels only
Watched o’er the steps of the poor orphan child
Yet distant and soft the night breeze is blowing
Clouds there are none and stars gleam high
God in his mercy protection is showing
Comfort and hope to the poor orphan child
Even should I fall or the broken bridge passing
Or stray in the marshes, by false light beguiled
Still will my father with promise and blessing
Take to his bosom the poor orphan child
There is a thought that for strength avail me
Thou’ll both have shelter and kindred despair
Heaven is a home and rest will not fail me
God is a friend to the poor orphan child

This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
Hard-edged alt-country that draws on the pinwheeling melodies of bluegrass and classic folk, bolstering them with pounding rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 4, 2020
