Orphan's Lament Lyrics & Chords By Robbie Basho

Born for love, and nothing more,
Given away because we was poor,
Will you wait, will you wait for me?
My hair was black, and my eyes was bright,
Never catch up to my parents side, will you wait, will you wait for me?

I'll be waiting there by the river, my love.
I'll be waiting there by the trees.
Will you wait?

My face was brown, and my hair was long.
Cut my hair, and hushed my song.
Will you wait, will you wait for me?

All my life I've been forced to roam,
Never had a place to call my own.
Will you wait, will you wait for me?

I'll be waiting there by the river, my love.
I'll be waiting there by the trees.
Will you wait?

Will you wait?
