Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Far, far away from home,
A long long ways from home.
Refrain
Then I got down on my knees and pray,
Got down on my knees and pray.
2. Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone,
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone,
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone,
Far, far away from home,
A long, long ways from home. Refrain
