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
