Sometimes I feel like a motherless child



A long long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I??™m almost gone



And I know my time??™s not long



I know that my time, it??™s not long



Sometimes I feel like I??™m heaven bound



Sometimes I feel like I??™m heaven bound



Sometimes I feel like I??™m heaven bound



And I wear a golden crown



I wear a golden crown



Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire



Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire



Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire



And I??™m about to die



And I??™m about to die



I??™m about to die



I??™m about to die



I??™m about to die



I??™m about to die



I??™m about to die



I ain??™t got nobody to love me



I ain??™t got nobody to hold me



I ain??™t got nobody to squeeze me



I??™m just a motherless child



I??™m just a motherless child
