(Trad. Arr./Lyrics by Steve Miller)
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
Motherless children have a very hard time
|
All the weepin', all that cryin'
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
|
People say a sister will do
|
When the mother is gone
|
People say a sister will do
|
When the mother is gone
|
People say a sister will do
|
She'll get married, turn her back on you
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
|
Father do the best he can
|
When the mother is gone
|
Father do the best he can
|
When the mother is gone
|
Father do the best he can
|
But there's so many things he just don't understand
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
|
I was lookin' for some place to plead my case
|
And I'm standing here all alone
|
I was framed, the times they have change
|
And I don't know where I'm goin'
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
All that weepin', all that cryin'
|
Motherless children have a hard time
|
When their mother is gone
|
