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
When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead
When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead...
