Motherless Children Songtext
von Mountain City Four

(Motherless children)

Motherless children have a whole hard time
When their mother is dead (mother is dead)
Motherless children have a whole hard time
When their mother is dead

They don′t have no place to go
Wandering around from door to door
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is dead (mother is dead)


Some people will say that the sister will do
When their mother is dead (mother is dead)
Some people will say that the sister will do
When their mother is dead

Some people will say that the sister will do
But when she gets mad and her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is dead (mother is dead)

Go and dig my grave with a silver spade
When I'm dead (when I′m dead)
Go and dig my grave with a silver spade
When I'm dead

Go and dig my grave with a silver spade
Just make sure that it didn't get fade
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is dead (mother is dead)
