Låttexter: Eric Clapton. 461 Ocean Boulevard. Motherless Children.

Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead Lord
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead Lord
They don't have anywhere to go, wondering around from door to door
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead Lord

Father will do best the can when your mother is dead Lord
Father will do best the can when your mother is dead Lord
Father will do best the can, so many things a father can't understand
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead Lord

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead Lord
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead Lord
Sister will do the best she can, so many things a sister can't understand

Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead
When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead
When your mother is dead Lord, when your mother is dead
Mother is dead, mother is dead, mother is dead
