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 She'll 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 there's so many things he just don't understand Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone I was lookin' for some place to plead my case And I'm standing here all alone I was framed, the times they have change And I don't know where I'm goin' Motherless children have a hard time All that weepin', all that cryin' Motherless children have a hard time When their mother is gone
