Motherless Child
Well, you didn't come home till
the sun was shining bright
I had to go so far girl to get
my ham bones boiled.
Had to go so far girl to get
my ham bones boiled.
Well, he's had a lotta women
gonna let my ham bones burn
Well, I did more for you, girl
than your daddy ever done
Well, I did more for you, girl
than your daddy ever done
Well, I give you my jelly
he ain't give you none
And when you see two women
always running hand in hand
When you see two women
always running hand in hand
You can bet your bottom dollar
one got the other one's man
Lord, I'm going to the river
get me a tangled rocking chair
I'm going to the river
get me a tangled rocking chair
And if the blues overtake me
gonna rock away from here
