Motherless and Fatherless Songtext
von Skip James

You know I′m motherless and I'm fatherless
And certainly I′m brotherless too
I'm motherless and I'm fatherless
And certainly I′m brotherless
Baby that′s why I been begging and pleading so hard
Trying to get along with you.

Lord, if you see my mama
Would you tell her to please pray for me
If you should see my mama
Will you please tell her to pray
Tell her I ...
Just as sick as a boy can be.


Tell her she don't send me no doctor
Cause a doctor can′t cure my pain.
Tell her, don't send me no doctor
Cause a doctor can′t give me no cure.
Because it's all of my fault
Because I haven′t did the things I should

You can love me, you can leave me
Just most all the things you wanna
You can love me, you can heal me
Just most all the things you wanna do
Because it's so many strange things happening
Something may happen to you
Yes and I did had all of my fun
If I don't have a good welth anymore
I did had all of my fun
If I don′t have a good welth anymore
Because my health is done feeding me
Babe and I′m going down slow


You can love me, you can leave me
Just most anything that you wanna do
You can love me, you can heal me
Just most anything you wanna
So many strange things are happening
Maybe something may happen to you
