Lyrics Sometimes I Feel Like a Motheless Child - Mahalia Jackson

Sometimes I Feel Like a Motheless Child

Summertime And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin’and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich and your mamma’s good lookin'
So, hush little baby
Don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
You’re gonna spread your wings
Take to the sky
But till that morning
Nothing will harm you
Daddy and mama
They’ll be standing by
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Just a long way, from my home oh Lord
Just A long way, from home
Long way from home
Long way from home
Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping oh
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy is rich
And your mama is good looking
So hush little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna' rise up singing
You gonna' hoist your way home
Take to the skies
But tell that morning nothing can harm you
With dad and mommy they’ll be standing by
