Motherless children sees a hard time when their mother’s dead Motherless children sees a hard time when their mother’s dead They go hungry, they go cold, Lord they got nowhere to go Motherless children sees a hard time when their mother’s dead 
Orphan children has a hard time in this world,(x2) Sister does the best she can, but she really don’t understand, 
Father will do the best he can when mother is dead,..(x2) Father will do the best he can, But he really don’t understand, 
Brother won’t treat you like mother will when mother is dead,(x2) You may ask for a piece of bread, you are told to go to bed, 
Friends won’t treat you like mother will when mother is dead,(x2) They will tell you what to do, then they’ll turn their back on you,
