The Carter Family

Motherless children’s is a hard time when their mother is dead
Motherless children’s is a hard time when their mother is dead
They are driven out in the cold, God knows where to go

Motherless children’s is a hard time when their mother is dead
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Sister does the best she can, but she really don't understand
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Brother won't treat you like mother will when your mother is dead
Brother won't treat you like mother will when your mother is dead
You may ask for a piece of bread, you are told to go to bed
Motherless children’s is a hard time when their mother is dead
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Sister does the best she can, but she really don't understand

Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Sister does the best she can, but she really don't understand
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Friends won't treat you like mother will when your mother is dead
Friends won't treat you like mother will when your mother is dead
They will tell you what to do, but they'll turn their back on you
Motherless children’s is a hard time when their mother is dead
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
Sister does the best she can, but she really don't understand
Orphan children’s is a hard time in this world
