Note: V1 recorded by Bruce (on piano) to Mike Appel at Pocketful of Tunes, 39 West 55th Street, New York, NY during their first meeting on November 4, 1971. V2 914 Sound Studios on February 29-30, 1973. Written soon after the May 2 audition for John Hammond and found on a proposed track-listing document for the Greetings album. "Song For Orphans" was an occasional inclusion in Bruce’s opening solo segment during the first three months of the Greetings album tour. A couple live audio performances from that period are circulating. Occasionally written as "Song To Orphans", "Song To The Orphans" and variations thereof. Although not considered for Album #2, Springsteen composed several lists of songs that were candidates for inclusion on his third album, and "Song For Orphans" made several.
