Mother, you had me but I never had you
Oh, I, 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
Oh, I needed you, you didn't need me
So, I, I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

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

Children, please don't do what I have done, oh, no
Oh, I, I couldn't walk but I tried to run, oh, oh
So I, I, I 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, no, don't go
Daddy, daddy, daddy, come homе
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home

No, no, no (Mama don't go)
Daddy, come homе
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
