Lyrics


yeah, you motherless children you have a hard time
when mother is dead
father will do the best he can
when mother is dead, oh
why you walk with heads hang low
wandering around from door to door
nobody treat you like mother will
oh, when mother is dead
ain't nobody gonna take mother's place now
when mother is dead
why you walk with heads hang low
wandering around from door to door
ain't nobody treat you like mother will
when mother is dead
