Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long long way from home A long long way from home Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone And I know my time’s not long I know that my time, it’s not long Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound And I wear a golden crown I wear a golden crown Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire And I’m about to die And I’m about to die I’m about to die I’m about to die I’m about to die I’m about to die I’m about to die I ain’t got nobody to love me I ain’t got nobody to hold me I ain’t got nobody to squeeze me I’m just a motherless child I’m just a motherless child
