Eric Clapton — Motherless Child

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
