Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

(Sometimes)

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long way is from home

A long way is from home

Do believe us, A long ways from home

A long ways from home

Yes, sometimes I feel like a motherless child

(Why?)

Why? 'Cause nothin' ever happens

(Nothin'?)

Well nothin' good

(So what's good?)

You know to have a ball, man

(You sick?)

(Hungry?)

No man

I just had myself a whole mess of black eyed peas and rice

(Long way, long way)

(See what I mean?)
