Motherless Child Songtext
von Memphis Slim

Well, I′m a motherless child
Lord, an I ain't got no friend at all
I′m a motherless child
Well, an I ain't got no friend at all
I smile through my tears
Some people think I'm havin′ a ball


But when I had money
I had friends for miles around
Now, when I had money
Lord, I had friends for miles around
But since I spent all my money
Lord, my friends all put me down

(Harmonica & piano)

But that′s alright
I'll take life with a smile
That′s alright
People, I'll take life with a smile
For now I′ve gotten kind-a used to
Well, a-bein' just a motherless child.
