Motherless Child - Live at the Fillmore, San Francisco, 1994

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 had to go so far down, to get my ham bones boiled

Had to go so far down, to get my ham bones boiled

Well, he's had a lotta women, gonna let my ham bones burn

Well, I did more for you now, than your daddy ever done

Well, I did more for you now, than your daddy ever done

Well, I give you my jewelry, 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, gonna rock away from here
