Lucinda Williams Lyrics for Song: Motherless Children
 Lyrics for Album: Ramblin' [1992]
 
 
 
 9398>Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Wanderin' 'round from door to door
 
 
 
 They don't have no place to go
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your sister will do
 
 
 
 Soon as she marries, turn her back on you
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your auntie will do when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your auntie will do when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Some people say your auntie will do
 
 
 
 Make a start, then prove untrue
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Your husband may do the best he can when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Your husband may do the best he can when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Your husband may do the best he can
 
 
 
 But your husband don't understand
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Jesus will be a father to you when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Jesus will be a father to you when your mother's dead
 
 
 
 Jesus will be a father to you
 
 
 
 Pain and sorrow He'll lead you through
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Wanderin' round from door to door
 
 
 
 They don't have no place to go
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
 
 
 
 Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
