Sam Baker Orphan
She used to say she was an orphan Never was exactly the truth It's just her mother got tired Tired of her hanging round So she ended up living in a home for girls A straight hair kid in a house full of curls A straight haired kid always hanging around She'd sing swing low Sweet chariot She's coming for to carry me home So the first chance she got she said I do To a tall town boy who said me too Honorable mention all district quarterback He said I'll carry you away She left him drunk on a stool in a county line bar Going on about high school How he was a star She just got tired, tired of him hanging around She'd sing swing low Sweet chariot She's coming for to carry me home dairy queen Had two baby boys two more diamond rings The husbands they were brave But she split that one horse town Just got tired all the people hanging around Split that one horse town Now she lives outside LA With a broke down baseball player Used to playdouble A Religious man Never drinks or swears She's tired of all the talk about her Getting saved Tired of all the talk about Revelation days She's tired Tired of him hanging around She sings swing low Sweet chariot She's coming for to carry me home
