🤘 Verse:

C#m
It's that time of the season

When the blood runs hot

And God must have a reason

When the temperature drops
F#
One more nameless baby

And a momma in shame
    C#m
Not one of the fathers

Of the churches came


🤘 Chorus: 

      C#m
For a motherless child in the wild, wild city

It ain't no place for a girl

So young and pretty

A motherless child in the wild, wild city
          A             G#                    C#m
Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl


🤘 Verse 2:

C#m
It could happen to me

It could happen to you

It's the luck of the draw

It's the blow of the dice

There ain't nothin' that you can do
    F#
She took too many daddies

Took too many home
C#m
Tryna find the one, someone else's son

She couldn't wander those streets alone
