Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, KBE, OBE (born 7 June 1940), best known by his stage name, Tom Jones is a Welsh pop singer particularly noted for his powerful voice. He was born in Treforest, near Pontypridd in South Wales. He rose to fame in the mid-1960s, with an exuberant live act which included wearing tight breeches and billowing shirts, in an Edwardian style popular amongst his peers at the time. He was known for his overt sexuality, before this was as common as it became in subsequent years. In 1963 he became the frontman for Tommy Scott and the Senators, a local beat group.

Motherless Child (feat. Portishead) Lyrics

Tom Jones

Words and music - traditional

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long long way from home

A long 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

And I know my time’s not long

I know that my time, it’s not long

Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

Sometimes I feel like I’m heaven bound

And I wear a golden crown

I wear a golden crown

Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire

And I’m about to die

And I’m about to die

I’m about to die

I’m about to die

I’m about to die

I’m about to die

I’m about to die

I ain’t got nobody to love me

I ain’t got nobody to hold me

I ain’t got nobody to squeeze me

I’m just a motherless child

I’m just a motherless child
