Motherless Child Songtext
von O.V. Wright

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home

This world out here is lonely and cold
This world out here is so lonely and cold
This world out here is lonely and cold
Oh, I guess I′ll go back home


Oh, sometimes I feel
I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Oh, I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Oh, I feel like a motherless, motherless child
A long ways from home

Why did I leave the ones that loved me?
Why did I leave the ones that loved me?
I guess I'll pray to the Lord up above me
To show me the way back home
