Goodbye, mother (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
I'm sorry (goodbye, ma)
Sorry to my heart (goodbye, ma)
Eh, so long, mother (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
I'm sorry that we have to part (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
But you can look for me (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Won't you look for me? (Oh, oh, goodbye, ma, oh, goodbye, ma)
I'll be home soon (goodbye, ma, oh)
Lord have mercy, Jesus (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
So long, mother (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
I got tears, tears (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Tears are all in my eyes (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Farewell, Mother (goodbye, ma)
I run down and wave (goodbye, ma)
Wave my last goodbye (goodbye, ma)
But you can look for me (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Eh, eh, somewhere in glory (oh, goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
'Cause I'll be home soon (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Lord have mercy, Jesus (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
I want you to just sleep on, mother (goodbye, ma)
Please ma (goodbye, ma)
I want you to take your rest (goodbye, ma)
Yes, I love you, mother (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Eh, eh (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
But I believe God loves you best (goodbye, ma)
Oh, Lord (goodbye, ma)
But you can look for me (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Ah, somewhere in glory (goodbye, ma)
'Cause I'll be home soon (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Lord have mercy, Jesus (goodbye, ma)
Just the other day (goodbye, ma)
They tell me, Mother (goodbye, ma)
They laid you (goodbye, ma)
Laid you in the new barren ground (goodbye, ma)
Lord have mercy (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
I wasn't there (goodbye, ma)
When they laid your body down (goodbye, ma)
Lord help your boy (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
But one thing I want you to do for me, mother (goodbye, ma
I want you to look for me (goodbye, ma, goodbye, ma)
Somewhere in glory (oh, goodbye, ma)
I'll be home soon (goodbye, ma)
(Mother, goodbye)
