Eric Clapton - Motherless Children

From 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974)

Motherless Children

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.

Jim Gordon's drums drive this song to greatness [ not slighting the guitar ]

Clapton was a motherless child himself, there is pain in there.

[UnkemptButClassy]

Best intro ever. Toss "Money for Nothing" aside!!!! Just turn this up loud.

Una de sus canciones más frescas con un bateria excelente.

Every time I hear this, I think of "Not Necessarily the News". Love this song.

@guillotinedeath: Both critics and fans would agree that "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" is his finest solo album. His guitar duos with Duane Allman are breathtaking.
