Motherless Children
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.
Motherless children have a very hard time when their mother is gone
Motherless children have a very hard time when their mother is gone
Motherless children have a very hard time,
all that weeping and all that crying
Motherless children have a very hard time when their mother is gone
Some people say that a sister will do when their mother is gone
Some people say that a sister will do when their mother is gone
Some people say that a sister will do,
soon as she's happy turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother is gone
Father will do the best he can when their mother is gone
Father will do the best he can when their mother is gone
Father will do the best he can,
so many things that father don't understand
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother is gone
