Orphan Mae

I don't know where I come from
But I know it's a place here on earth
Somewhere in a desert near
A mountain was the place of my birthIf you could tell me
I would cry if you could tell me
I would fly there if you could
Tell me my oh my my oh mySomewhere out there in the blossoms of the cactus
I lost my mare walked up a ridge and at the top
I saw her running off I don't know whereIf you could tell me
I would cry if you could tell me
I would fly there if you could
Tell me my oh my my oh myThe naked sun she burns me down
She turns my flesh to this dark brown
Won't someone please give me
A place to go I assure you
I don't ever ever knowIf you could tell me
I would cry if you could tell me
I would fly there if you could
Tell me my oh my my oh my
