Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a very hard time
All the weepin, all that cryin
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
People say a sister will do
When the mother is gone
People say a sister will do
When the mother is gone
People say a sister will do
Shell get married, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Father do the best he can
When the mother is gone
Father do the best he can
When the mother is gone
Father do the best he can
But theres so many things he just dont understand
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
I was lookin for some place to plead my case
And Im standing here all alone
I was framed, the times they have change
And I dont know where Im goin
Motherless children have a hard time
All that weepin, all that cryin
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
