Lyrics

[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child (Motherless child)
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child (Motherless child)
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child (Motherless child)
A long ways from home
[Verse 1]
This world out here
Is lonely and cold (Lonely and cold)
This world out here
Is so lonely and cold (Lonely and cold)
This world out here
Is lonely and cold (Lonely and cold)
Oh, I guess I'll go back home
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel (Oh, sometimes I feel)
Like a motherless child (I feel like a motherless child)
Sometimes I feel (Sometimes I feel)
Like a motherless child (Oh, I feel like a motherless child)
Sometimes I feel (Sometimes I feel)
Like a motherless child (Oh, I feel like a motherless, motherless child)
A long (A long) ways (Ways) from home (From home)
[Verse 2]
Why did I leave
The ones that loved me?
Why did I leave
The ones that loved me?
I guess I'll pray
To the Lord up above me
To show me the way back home (Back home, back home, back home)
[Outro]
Back home, back home
Back home, back home (Back home)
Back home, back home
