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
