Mother, you had me, I never had you

I wanted you, you didn't want me

 So I, I just gotta tell you

 Goodbye. Goodbye.

Father, you left me, I never left you

I needed you, you didn't need me

 So I, I just gotta tell you

 Goodbye. Goodbye.

Children don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk, I tried to run

 So I, I just gotta tell you

 Goodbye. Goodbye.

Momma don't go, Daddy come home... (6x or repeat until you want or get tired)
