Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

[Verse 2]

And I'm a long

And I'm a long way from my home

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone

[Verse 4]

And I'm a long

And I'm a long

And I'm a long way from my home

From my home

[Verse 5]

Sometimes I feel like there is nobody there

Sometimes I feel like there's no, no, nobody there

Sometimes I feel like there's nobody there

[Verse 6]

And I'm a long

And I'm a long

And I'm a really, a long way from my home

[Verse 7]

From my home

From my home

From my home

From my home

From my home

From my home

From my home
