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      Mama don't go   Daddy come home   Mama don't go   Daddy come home
