Sometimes i feel like a motherless child - Slim Memphis

Well, I’m a motherless child

Lord, an I ain’t got no friend at all

I’m a motherless child

Well, an I ain’t got no friend at all

I smile through my tears

Some people think I’m havin' a ball

But when I had money

I had friends for miles around

Now, when I had money

Lord, I had friends for miles around

But since I spent all my money

Lord, my friends all put me down

(harmonica & piano)

But that’s alright

I’ll take life with a smile

That’s alright

People, I’ll take life with a smile

For now I’ve gotten kind-a used to

Well, a-bein' just a motherless child
