Lyrics
Motherless Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every last blind pulled when I walk down the street.
The only sound I hear is my tired heartbeat.
Sometimes I feel just like a motherless child.
This place once had a name.
The people once had faces.
In every town I find it's the same sad situation.
Sometimes I feel just like a countryless man.
My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise,
The county correct me from my wild ways.
I once saw figures about a mile off.
So I waited in the woods until they were gone.
Sometimes I feel just like a wandering dog.
My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise,
The county correct me from my wild ways.
