Mama Tried

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

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
