Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long long way from home
A long long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I`m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I`m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I`m almost gone
And I know my time`s not long
I know that my time, it`s not long
Sometimes I feel like I`m heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I`m heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I`m heaven bound
And I wear a golden crown
I wear a golden crown
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
And I`m about to die
And I`m about to die
I`m about to die
I`m about to die
I`m about to die
I`m about to die
I`m about to die
I ain`t got nobody to love me
I ain`t got nobody to hold me
I ain`t got nobody to squeeze me
I`m just a motherless child
I`m just a motherless child
