Bob Dylan - Motherless Children lyrics

Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead Motherless children run a hard road, a hard road, a hard road Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead Your father will do the best he can when your mother is dead Your father will do the best he can when your mother is dead Your father will do the best he can, but he just does not understand Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead Now, there's some people say your sister might do when your mother is dead Now, there's some people say your sister might do when your mother is dead Some people say your sister will do; soon as she married, turn her back on you Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead You can dig my grave with a bloody spade when I'm dead You can dig my grave with a bloody spade when I'm dead You can dig my grave with a bloody spade; see that my digger gets well paid Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead Jesus won't be no mother to you when your mother is dead Jesus won't be no mother to you when your mother is dead Jesus won't be no mother to you; his trials and tribulations won't see you through Motherless children run a hard road when your mother is dead
