Motherless Children - Various Artists

Well, well, well, ah

Hey, motherless children have a hard time

Motherless children have a hard time, mother's dead

They'll not have anywhere to go

Wandering 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 takes mother's place when, mother's dead

Nobody on earth takes mother's place

When you were starting, 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 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

Hey 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

Wandering around from door to door

Have a hard time
