Motherless Children

[Verse 1]

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, Lord

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, Lord

They don't have anywhere to go

Wandering around from door to door

[Chorus]

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord

[Verse 2]

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, Lord

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, Lord

Father will do the best he can

So many things a father can't understand

[Chorus]

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord

[Verse 3]

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, Lord

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, Lord

Sister will do the best she can

So many things a sister can't understand

[Chorus]

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead

[Outro]

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead

When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead
