[Eric Clapton - Motherless Child lyrics]

If I mistreat you girl
I sure don't mean no harm
If I mistreat you girl
I sure don't mean no harm
Well, I'm a motherless child
I don't know right from wrong

Please tell me pretty mama
Honey where'd you stay last night?
Please tell me pretty mama
Honey where'd you stay last night?
Well, you didn't come home till
The sun was shining bright

I have to go so far, girl
To get my ham bones boiled
Have to go so far, girl
To get my ham bones boiled
Well, he's had a lot of women
Going to let my ham bones burn
Well, I did more for you, girl

Than your daddy ever done
Well, I did more for you, girl
Than your daddy ever done
Well, I give you my jelly
He ain't give you none

And when you see two women
Always running hand in hand
When you see two women always
Running hand in hand
You can bet your bottom dollar
One got the other one's man

Lord, I'm going to the river
Get me a tangled rocking chair
I'm going to the river
Get me a tangled rocking chair
And if the blues overtake me
Going to rock away from here
