Orphan's Lament

Born for love and nothing more
Given away 'cause we was poor
Will you wait, will you wait for me?

My hair was black and my eyes was bright
Never gave pleasure to my parent's sight
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 for me?

My face was brown and my hair was long
Cut my hair, 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?
