Motherless Child Lyrics

Words and music - traditional

 

 Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

 

 Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

 

 Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

 

 A long long way from home

 

 A long long way from home

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone

 

 And I know my time’s not long

 

 I know that my time, it’s not long

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

 

 Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

 

 And I wear a golden crown

 

 I wear a golden crown

 

 Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

 

 Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

 

 Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

 

 And I’m about to die

 

 And I’m about to die

 

 I’m about to die

 

 I’m about to die

 

 I’m about to die

 

 I’m about to die

 

 I’m about to die

 

 I ain’t got nobody to love me

 

 I ain’t got nobody to hold me

 

 I ain’t got nobody to squeeze me

 

 I’m just a motherless child

 

 I’m just a motherless child
