Mother`s Children Have A Hard Time Lyrics - Complete Recordings Of Blind Willie Johnson - Blind Willie Johnson

Well, well, well, ah 

A motherless children have a hard time 

Motherless children have a hard time, mother's dead 

They'll not have anywhere to go, wanderin' 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 startin', 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
