blind willie johnson – mother’s children have a hard time lyrics
well, well, well, ah
a motherless children have a hard time
motherless children have a hard time, mother’s dead
they’ll not have anywhere to go, wanderin’ around from door to door
have a hard time n-body on earth can take a mother’s place when, when mother is dead, lord
n-body on earth takes mother’s place when, mother’s dead
n-body on earth takes mother’s place, when you were startin’, paved the way
n-body treats you like mother will when your wife or husband may be good to you, when mother is dead, lord
they’ll be good to you, mother’s dead
a wife or a husband may be good to you, but, better than nothing has proved untrue
n-body treats you like mother will when, when mother is dead, lord lord, lord, lord
yeah, well, ah
well, some people say that sister will do, when mother is dead
that sister will do when mother’s dead
some people say that sister will do, but, as soon as she’s married, she turn her back on you
n-body treats you like mother will and father will do the best he can, when mother is dead, lord
well, the best he can when mother is dead
father will do the best he can, so many things a father can’t understand
n-body treats you like mother will a motherless children have a hard time, when mother is dead, lord
motherless children have a hard time, mother’s dead
they’ll not have anywhere to go, wanderin’ around from door to door
have a hard time
