I have the chorus of a song stuck in my head, and I have no idea what the song is. Help?

I have the chorus of a song stuck in my head, and I have no idea what the song is. Help! The chorus is, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" repeated several times, then perhaps something like "and I'm a long, long way from home".

It's a female lead singer and has sort of a 60's vibe to it -- think Jefferson Airplane before they sold out in the 80's. Anyone? Asked by Rickisgirl 52 months ago Similar questions: chorus song stuck head idea Help Entertainment > Music.

A great song! This is one of my favourite spirituals. It has been sung over the years from singers as diverse as Sarah Vaughan, Odetta, Marion Anderson ans Beth Nielson Chapman and once you get it in your head, well that’s it!

The text goes: 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 Here is my spontaneous version of the first verse -once you reminded me of the song, I just had to sing it! :-0 http://www.mediafire.com/?audcz1qgatt Thank you for sending me off on this research journey of a wonderful song. This Beth Nielson Chapman version and the video message gave me goosebumps.

Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child This was sung by many people. It's a Negro spiritual also sung by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Tom Jones, Van Morrison, Eddy Arnold, etc. Even Elvis sang it. This was the first song I taught myself on the guitar.

The way I played, my mother didn't want to claim me... so it was appropriate . http://www.negrospirituals.com/news-song/sometimes_i_fell.htm .

Several have recorded it... I found this on Wikepedia about it. It's too much to cut and paste so check out the link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sometimes_I_Feel_L... .

Popular Negro Spiritual There's a popular and old Negro spiritual which uses that refrain, and I know Van Morrison has a song with that phrase in it. However, I'm thinking I can hear Paul Simon's voice also.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
