Motherless Children Lyrics - Lead Me On - Kelly Joe Phelps

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 dont know 

Just so many things that he doesnt 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 Im 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
