Motherless Children (1991 Digital Remaster) - Steve Miller Band

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone

Motherless children have a very hard time

All the weepin', all that cryin'

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone

People say a sister will do

When the mother is gone

People say a sister will do

When the mother is gone

People say a sister will do

She'll get married, turn her back on you

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone

Father do the best he can

When the mother is gone

Father do the best he can

When the mother is gone

Father do the best he can

But there's so many things he just don't understand

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone

I was lookin' for some place to plead my case

And I'm standing here all alone

I was framed, the times they have change

And I don't know where I'm goin'

Motherless children have a hard time

All that weepin', all that cryin'

Motherless children have a hard time

When their mother is gone
