Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
Wanderin' 'round from door to door
They don't have no place to go
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead
Some people say your sister will do when your mother's dead
Some people say your sister will do
Soon as she marries, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Some people say your auntie will do when your mother's dead
Some people say your auntie will do when your mother's dead
Some people say your auntie will do
Make a start, then prove untrue
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Your husband may do the best he can when your mother's dead
Your husband may do the best he can when your mother's dead
Your husband may do the best he can
But your husband don't understand
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Jesus will be a father to you when your mother's dead
Jesus will be a father to you when your mother's dead
Jesus will be a father to you
Pain and sorrow He'll lead you through
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
Wanderin' round from door to door
They don't have no place to go
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother's dead

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a day with you I've rambled
Happiest hours with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I find it's only lent

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a night while you lay sleeping
Dreaming of your amber skies
Was a poor girl broken hearted
Listening to the winds that sigh

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling, pal of mine

Just three things that I wish for
It's my casket, shroud and grave
When I'm gone don't weep for me
Just kiss those lips that you betrayed

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Con-cerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is re-corded
On the pages of God's Holy Word.

2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her
And she is despised by the squad
But the great speckled bird in the Bible
Is one with the great church of God.

3. All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied Jesus' name.

4. Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.

5. She is spreading her wings for a journey
She's going to leave by and by
When the trumpet shall sound in the morning
She'll rise and go up in the sky.

6. In the presence of all her despisers
With a song never uttered before
She will rise and be gone in a moment
Till the great tribulation is o'er.

7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.
8. When He cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.

How many times
Have you heard someone say
"If I had his money
I'd do things my way"

How little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in a hundred
With a satisfied mind

Once I was living
In fortune and fame
And everything I could dream of
To get a start in life's game

And suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

No money can buy back
Your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a heart that's grown cold

And the world's richest man
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When my life is over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave, there's no doubt

But there's one thing for certain
When it comes, my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
