Mother's children have a hard time


Well, well, well, ah
A motherless children have a hard time
Motherless children have a hard time, mother's deadThey'll not have anywhere to go, wanderin' around from door to door
Have a hard time
Nobody on earth can take a mother's place when, when mother is dead, LordNobody on earth takes mother's place when, mother's dead
Nobody on earth takes mother's place,when you were startin', paved the way
Nobody treats you like mother will when
Your wife or husband may be good to you, when mother is dead, LordThey'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
Nobody treats you like mother will when, when mother is dead, LordLord, Lord, LordYeah, 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
Nobody treats you like mother will
And father will do the best he can, when mother is dead, LordWell, the best he can when mother is dead
Father will do the best he can,so many things a father can't understand
Nobody treats you like mother will
A motherless children have a hard time, when mother is dead, LordMotherless children have a hard time, mother's deadThey'll not have anywhere to go,Wanderin' around from door to door
Have a hard time

Biografia

Blind Willie Johnson (January 22, 1897 – September 18, 1945) was an American singer and guitarist whose music straddled the border between blues and spirituals. While the lyrics of all of his songs were religious, his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions. Among musicians, he is considered one of the greatest slide or bottleneck guitarists, as well as one of the most revered figures of depression-era gospel music. His music is distinguished by his powerful bass thumb-picking and gravelly false-bass voice, with occasional use of a tenor voice. Among his most representative songs: *Dark Was the Night*, *Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out*, *Motherless Children*.
