Motherless Children Lyrics by Rev. Gary Davis

A Little More Faith

0

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Wanderin' 'round from door to door
They don't have no place to go
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Some people say, "Sister will do when your mother is gone." (2x)
Some people say "Your sister will do"
Soon as she marries, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Your wife or your husband may be good to you when your mother is gone.(2x)
Wife or your husband may be good to you
Nobody treat you like your mother do
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Some people say, "Your auntie will do when your mother is gone." (2x)
Some people say "Your auntie will do"
Make a start, and then prove untrue
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
Jesus will be a Father to you when your mother is gone. (2x)
Jesus will be a Father to you
In pain and sorrow He will lead you through
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is gone
