Motherless Child Blues Songtext
von Tracy Nelson

My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died

She said, "Daughter, daughter, don′t you be like me"
She said, "Daughter, daughter, don't you be like me"
She said, "Daughter, daughter, don′t you be like me
Don't fall in love with every man you see"


But I did not listen to what my mama said
I did not listen to what my mama said
I did not listen to what my mama said
And that's the reason I′m sittin′ here today

Do you remember when you drove me from your door?
Do you remember when you drove me from your door?
Do you remember when you drove me from your door?
Go away from here, woman, I don't want you, no more

I walked away, and I hung my head and cried
I walked away, and I hung my head and cried
I walked away, and I hung my head and cried
Gonna have this blues until the day I die
