Motherless Children lyrics

Motherless Children	 



(traditional)



Now motherless
children

Have a hard time with mother dead

Motherless children 

Have a hard time when mother is dead

They don't have anywhere to go

Walking around from door to door

Motherless children have a hard
time

Oh with mother dead



Well father says that he can do

After mother gone away

Father says that he can do

After mother
gone away

Father don't do so many things 

The father don’t know

Just so many things that he doesn’t know

That motherless children have a
hard time

After mother gone

Motherless children 

Don't know
where to go



Mother told a child

Someday I'll meet you

After we are dead

Mother told a child

Some day I’m gonna meet
after we are dead

She told a child 

Someday I'll meet you

Lord, oh Lord I can't desert you

Motherless children have a hard
time

After mother is gone



Motherless children

Have a
hard time when she's gone

Motherless children 

Have a hard time
when she's gone

They don't have anywhere to go

They wander from
door to door



Motherless children 

Motherless children 

Motherless children

Have a hard time…
