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