Motherless Children

Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
Motherless children have no place to go
Wandering around from door to door
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
Wife or husband may treat you cruel, mother is dead
Wife or husband may treat you cruel, mother is dead
Wife or husband may treat you cruel
But no one treats you like your mama do
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
No one on earth can take mama's place, mother is dead
No one on earth can take mama's place, now mother is dead
No one on earth can take mama's place
Many have tried but they fade away
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
Lord, they say that sister is cruel, mother is dead
Lord, they say that sister is cruel, mother is dead
Yes, they say that sister is cruel
But soon as she marry, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
Father will do the best he can, mother is dead
Father will do the best he can, mother is dead
Father will do the best he can
So many things father don't understand
Motherless children have a hard time, mother is dead
