Motherless Child/have A Hard Time |
Well, well, well, ah |
A motherless children have a hard time |
Motherless children have a hard time, mother’s dead |
They’ll not have anywhere to go, wanderin' around from door to door |
Have a hard time |
Nobody on earth can take a mother’s place when, when mother is dead, Lord |
Nobody on earth take mother’s place when, mother’s dead |
Nobody on earth takes mother’s place |
When you were startin' paved the way |
Nobody treats you like mother will when |
Your wife or husband may be good to you, when mother is dead, Lord |
They’ll be good to you, mother’s dead |
A wife or a husband may be good to you |
But, better than nothing has proved untrue |
Nobody treats you like mother will when, when mother is dead, Lord |
Lord, Lord, Lord |
Yeah, well, ah |
Well, some people say that sister will do, when mother is dead |
That sister will do when mother’s dead |
Some people say that sister will do |
But, as soon as she’s married, she’ll turn her back on you |
Nobody treats you like mother will |
And father will do the best he can, when mother is dead, Lord |
Well, the best he can when mother is dead |
Father will do the best he can |
So many things a father can’t understand |
Nobody treats you like mother will |
Ahh, motherless children have a hard time, when mother is dead, Lord |
Motherless children have a hard time, mother’s dead |
They’ll not have anywhere to go |
Wanderin' around from door to door |
Have a hard time |
