A beautiful recording of this spiritual by Miss Willa Dorsey, accompanied by the Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. It is one of my favorite recordings of her with our choir and orchestra.

Here are the lyrics:

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child -
A long ways from home,
A long ways from home.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almos' gone,
Sometimes I feel like I'm almos' gone,
Sometimes I feel like I'm almos' gone -
Way up in de heab'nly land,
Way up in de heab'nly land.

A long ways from home,
A long ways from home -
A long, long ways from home.
