1 Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile, Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile, Sometimes I feel like a motherless chile,
Refrain: A long ways from home, A long ways from home, Then I get down on my knees an’ pray, Get down on my knees an’ pray.
2 Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone, Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone, Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone, [Refrain]
