Motherless Children Lyrics - Big Sugar

Motherless children have a hard time 

When their mother's dead. 

Motherless children have a hard time 

When their mother's dead. 

See them wander from door to door, 

Lord, they don't got no place to go. 

Nobody love you like your mother can 

When your mother's dead. 

Father will do the best he can 

When your mother's dead. 

Father will do the best he can 

When your mother's dead. 

Father will do the best he can 

But some things, your father can't understand. 

Nobody loves you like your mother can 

When your mother's dead. 

When your mother's dead 

When your mother's dead, Lord 

Nobody loves you like your mother can 

When your mother's dead. 

When your mother's dead. 

When your mother's dead, Lord 

Nobody loves you like your mother can 

When your mother's dead. 

Sister will do the best she can 

When your mother's dead 

Sister will do the best she can 

But she'll go and leave you for another man 

Nobody loves you like a mother can 

When your mother's dead. 

When your mother's dead 

When your mother's dead 

Nobody loves you like a mother can 

When your mother's dead 

When you mother's dead 

When your mother's dead 

Nobody wants you 

Nobody needs you 

Nobody loves you like a mother can 

When your mother's dead
