Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like
A motherless child
Sometimes I feel like
A motherless child
Sometimes I feel like
A motherless child
And I'm alone, and I'm alone
And I'm a long way from my 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'm alone, and I'm alone
And I'm a long way from my home
From my home
Sometimes I feel like
There's nobody there
Sometimes I feel like
There's no no nobody
There sometimes I feel like
There's nobody there
And I'm alone, and alone
And I'm really a long way from my home.
From my home
From my home
From my home
From my home
From my home
From my home
From my home
