Lyrics (Sometimes I Feel Like A) Motherless Child - Sarah Vaughan

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(Sometimes)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home

Do believe us?
A long ways from home
A long ways from home
Yes, sometimes I feel like a motherless child
(Why?)
Why? 'Cause nothin' ever happens
(Nothin')
Well, nothin' good
(So what's good?)
You know to have a ball, man
(You sick?)

(Hungry?)
