Okay. I know this thread isn't above the line, but I just checked some online websites for the lyrics to this "Negro" spiritual and I'm not finding the same words that I remember my church choir singing.

Here's one version:
"SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD"

from « American Negro Spirituals
by J. W. Johnson, J. R. Johnson, 1926


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
True believer
A long ways from home
Along 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
True believer
Way up in de heab'nly land
Way up in de heab'nly land

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
There's praying everywhere

Then there's this version:

Melody - Harry Thacker Burleigh, 191? (1866-1949)

Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
A Long Way From Home
True Believer
A Long Way From Home   
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child

Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird up in the sky
Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird in the sky
Little closer to home

Motherless children
Have a real hard time
Motherless children
Have a such a real hard time
So long so long so long

Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
So far away

Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near
Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near
But we're so far away

Sometimes I feel
Like it's close at hand
Sometimes I feel
Like the freedom is near
But we're so far from home

Sometimes, sometimes,
Sometimes
So far, so far, so far,
So far Mama from you, so far

But I remember being taught that song this way:

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child.
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
[True believer] *
A long way from home.
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone.
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone.
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone.
[True believer] *
A long way from home.
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like an eagle in the air
Sometimes I feel like an eagle in the air
Sometimes I feel like an eagle in the air
A long way from home
[True believer]*
A long way from home

* optional phrase.

I'm curious which version of this song is most familiar to folks here.
