Mance Lipscomb Motherless Children Lyrics

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead
Lord
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead
Lord
They don't have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead
Lord

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead
Lord
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead
Lord
Father will do the best he can;
So many things a father can't understand Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead
Lord

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead
Lord
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead
Lord
Sister will do the best she can;
So many things a sister can't understand
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is
Dead

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead
When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead
