Motherless Children
Eric Clapton Lyrics


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;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he 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.

Top class men and women doing a good day's work. You can't beat this with a stick. One of the best live videos I have seen since YT began. Watch it every couple of weeks,,

April S

And Willie Weeks on bass. He is amazing.

Holy shit! Where to begin: so much talent on that stage. The rhythm section alone is as good as it gets - Steve Jordan on drums and the great Willie Weeks on bass. This must be heaven. Unbelievable. Seriously. Update: I keep coming back to this. Steve Jordan is a monster - the drumming is so good on this.

kamar abdulghani

Dutch BoSoxFan

@PaulinWoburn - Hell yeah, what Trucks does in that last slide part is amazing.

Patrick Bryant

With the bonus of all 3 guitarists playing slide!

PaulinWoburn

Derrick Trucks is no slouch either.

Sat Urno

Great..great sound out of a very basic drum set up. I guess you don't need a monster 40 pieces drum set up to get a fantastic drumming sound. This guy is truly a master.
