Lyrics Motherless Child - Rory Block

Well my mother told me just before she died
Well my mother she told me just before she died
Now my mother she told me just before she died
Now my mother she told me just before she died
She said "Daughter, daughter please don′t be like me
Oh daughter, oh daughter please don't be like me
Oh daughter, oh daughter please don′t be like me
Don't fall in love with every man you see"
But I did not listen what my mother said
Says I did not listen to what my mother said
Now I did not listen to what my mother said
That's the reason why I sit right here today
But now she′s dead and six feet in the ground
I said now she′s dead and six feet in the ground
Yeah now she's dead and six feet in the ground
And I′m a child and I'm driftin′ round
I remember the day that you drove me from your door
I remember the day you drove me from your door
Well remember the day you drove me from your door
"Go away from here, woman, and don't come here no more"
Well I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
Said I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
Now I walked away and I wrang my hands and cried
Now I got the blues and can′t be satisfied
