Kat Motherless Child

"SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD"
from « American Negro Spirituals»
by J. W. Johnson, J. R. Johnson, 1926


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
A long ways from home
True believer
A long ways from home
Along ways from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land
True believer
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land

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
There’s praying everywhere

(“A side note I really don’t like Johari. I don’t know why she loves Mjeuri so much over her own cubs. To me she is just as evil because she did nothing as her cubs suffer abuse. And she had a chance to escape the abuse but she didn’t. To me she deserves everything she gets. But her cubs suffer the most and it’s her fault. So she deserves it and in some part in my chapters waka going to beat the crap out of her for it to. Sorry koai I just really hate her. In my eyes her she’s no victim.”)
