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 homeā¦
