Mother, you had me but I never had you
I needed you, you didn't need 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 want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk, I tried to run
So I, I just 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
