Sandy Denny - Motherless Children lyrics

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone

Father will do the best he can, he don't always understand

Motherless children have a hard time when mother's gone

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone

Mother told me I must obey that religion have its way

Mother told me I must obey when mother's gone

Mother told me I must prey when mother's gone

Mother told me I must prey when mother's gone

Mother told me I must prey get my feet in Jesus's way

Mother told me I must prey when mother's gone
