Motherless Children Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone 

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone 

Father will do the best he can, he don't always understand 

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must obey that religion have it's way 

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must pray when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must pray when mother's gone 

Mother told me I must pray get my feet in jesus's way 

Mother told me I must pray when mother's gone
