Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

African American spiritual, early 1800s

2. Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost done
A long way from home
A long way from home

3. Sometimes I feel like I'm a true believer
Sometimes I feel like I'm a true believer
Sometimes I feel like I'm a true believer
A long way from home
A long way from home.
