Motherless Child |
| If I mistreat you girl, I sure don’t mean no harm. |
| If I mistreat you girl, I sure don’t mean no harm. |
| Well, I’m a motherless child; |
| I don’t know right from |
| wrong. |
| Please tell me pretty mama, honey where’d you stay last |
| night? |
| Please tell me pretty mama, honey where’d you stay last |
| night? |
| Well, you didn’t come home till the sun was shining bright. |
| I had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled. |
| Had to go so far girl to get my ham bones boiled. |
| Well, these At-a-lanta women, gonna let my ham bones burn. |
| Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done. |
| Well, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done. |
| Well, I give you my jelly, he ain’t give you none. |
| And when you see two women, always running hand in hand. |
| When you see two women, always running hand in hand. |
| You can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one’s |
| man. |
| Lord, I’m going to the river, get me a tangled rocking |
| chair. |
| I’m going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair. |
| And if the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here. |
