Motherless Child |
| If I mistreat you girl, I sure don’t mean no harm\nIf I mistreat you girl, I sure don’t mean no harm\nWell, I’m a motherless child, I don’t know right from wrong\nPlease tell me pretty mama, honey where’d you stay last night?\nPlease tell me pretty mama, honey where’d you stay last night?\nWell, you didn’t come home till the sun was shining bright\nI have to go so far, girl, to get my ham bones boiled\nHave to go so far, girl, to get my ham bones boiled\nWell, he’s had a lot of women, going to let my ham bones burn\nWell, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done\nWell, I did more for you, girl, than your daddy ever done\nWell, I give you my jelly, he ain’t give you none\nAnd when you see two women, always running hand in hand\nWhen you see two women, always running hand in hand\nYou can bet your bottom dollar, one got the other one’s man\nLord, I’m going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair\nI’m going to the river, get me a tangled rocking chair\nAnd if the blues overtake me, going to rock away from here |
