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 home
