[Verse 1] Yeah, you motherless children have a hard time Oh, no one's going to treat you like your mama-mama will When your mama is dead, Lord She might be made of gold But she comes once in your lifetime, and no more [Refrain] You'll have a hard time You'll have a hard time [Verse 2] And some people say that your sister will do When your mama is dead, Lord And ome people say that your sister will do When your mama is dead Some people say that your sister will do As soon as she's married she'll turn her back on you [Refrain] Hard time You'll have a hard time [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Yeah, you motherless children have a hard, ha-ha-hard time I said that no one's going to treat you like your mama-mama will Your mama is dead Well, she might be made of gold She comes once in your lifetime, oh [Refrain] Hard time (You'll have a hard time) You'll have a hard time [Verse 4] Well, your father's going to do just the best that he can When your mama is dead, Lord And father's going to do just the best that he can Your mama is dead He's going to do just the best that he can So many things your father can't understand [Refrain] Hard time You'll have a hard time [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Yeah, you're mine Hard time You'll have a hard time You'll have a hard time You'll have a hard time [Instrumental Outro]
