Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, 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 goodbye, goodbye
Children, don’t do what I have done
I couldn’t walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you goodbye, goodbye
Mama, don’t go, Daddy come home
