Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me
So I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you but you didn't need me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

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
Mama don't go
Daddy come home
Mama don't go
Daddy come home
Mama don't go
Daddy come home...
