Motherless Children

well well well

Ahhhhhhhhh ah

well,
Motherless children have a hard time

Motherless children have a hard time
Mother's dead,
They don't have any where to go
Wand'ring around from door to door
                             have a hard time

Nobody on earth can take the mother's place
When ,                         when mother is dead, Lord
'Body on earth can take mother's place
When mother is dead,
Nobody on earth can take mother's place
When you're starring she paves the way
Nobody treat you like your mother will
When

Your wife, your husband may be good to you
                         when mother is dead, Lord
                                      may be good to you

Mother's dead
Wife and your husband may be good to you
But there's another and they'll prove untrue
Nobody treats you like mother will
When ,                     when mother is dead, Lord

Lord Lord Lord

Ehhhhhhhhh ehhhhh well

Ahhhhh ah

Well
Some people say that sister will do
                                    , when mother is dead
                                                that sister will do
When, mother's dead
Some people say that sister will do
But, soon as she marry she'll turn her back on you
Nobody treat you like mother will

And
Father will do the best he can
                             , when mother is dead, Lord
Well the best he can
When mother is dead
Father will do the best he can
So many things a father can't understand
Nobody treat you like mother will
 

Hey,
Motherless children have a hard time
                                 ,when mother is dead, Lord
Motherless children have a hard time
Mother's dead
They don't have any where to go
Wand'ring around from door to door
                                 have a hard time
