Motherless Children Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Motherless children have a hard time when your mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when your mother is gone 

Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Motherless children have a hard time 

All that weeping and all that crying 

Motherless children have a hard time when your mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

They don't have no place to go when mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

They don't have no place to go when mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

They don't have no place to go 

Some got to go from door to door 

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Some people say that the sister will do when mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Some people say that the sister will do when the mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Some people say that the sister will do 

She'll get married turn her back on you 

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Hush little baby now don't you cry cause your mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when your mother is gone 

Hush little baby now don't you cry cause your mother is gone 

When she's gone on home, when mother is gone 

Hush little baby now don't you cry 

You'll see your mother in the by and by 

Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone 

When she's gone on home when your mother is gone
