Mother, you had me but I never had you

I wanted you but you didn't want me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me but I never left you

I needed you, you didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you, I gotta tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Children don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk but I tried, I tried to run

So I, I just got to tell you, I gotta tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Mama, mama don't go

Daddy come home

Mama don't go

Daddy come home

Mama don't go

Daddy come home

Mama don't go

Daddy come home
