Motherless Children       (traditional)      Now motherless children   Have a hard time with mother dead   Motherless children    Have a hard time when mother is dead   They don't have anywhere to go   Walking around from door to door   Motherless children have a hard time   Oh with mother dead      Well father says that he can do   After mother gone away   Father says that he can do   After mother gone away   Father don't do so many things    The father don’t know   Just so many things that he doesn’t know   That motherless children have a hard time   After mother gone   Motherless children    Don't know where to go      Mother told a child   Someday I'll meet you   After we are dead   Mother told a child   Some day I’m gonna meet after we are dead   She told a child    Someday I'll meet you   Lord, oh Lord I can't desert you   Motherless children have a hard time   After mother is gone      Motherless children   Have a hard time when she's gone   Motherless children    Have a hard time when she's gone   They don't have anywhere to go   They wander from door to door      Motherless children    Motherless children    Motherless children   Have a hard time…
