Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless childA long long way from home

A long long way from homeSometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost goneAnd 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 boundAnd 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 fireAnd 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 dieI 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
