Sue Foley - Motherless Child Blues Lyrics
Official




My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died

Oh, my daughter, please don't be like me
Daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
Daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
To fall in love with every man you see

But I could not listen to what my mother said
Did not listen to what my mother said
I did not listen to what my mother said
That's the reason why I'm standing here today

Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
I am a child and I am left around

Remember the day, baby, you drove me from your door
'Member the day, baby, you drove me from your door
'Member the day, baby, you drove me from your door
You said go on now, don't come here no more

I walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
Walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
Walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
I had the blues and I couldn't get satisfied

My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died
My mother told me just before she died

Oh, my daughter, please don't be like me
Daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
Daughter, daughter, please don't be like me
To fall in love with every man you see

But I could not listen to what my mother said
Did not listen to what my mother said
I did not listen to what my mother said
That's the reason why I'm standing here today

Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
Now she's dead, she's six feet in the ground
I am a child and I am left around

Remember the day, baby, you drove me from your door
'Member the day, baby, you drove me from your door
'Member the day, baby, you drove me from your door
You said go on now, don't come here no more

I walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
Walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
Walked away, I was wringing my hands and crying
I had the blues and I couldn't get satisfied
