Mother don´t sit
Mother don´t stand
Mother don´t send me

Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven´t had any sleep in a long time

That baby´s gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don´t sit
Mother don´t stand
Mother don´t send me

Brother can´t even speak,
He´s got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can´t leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he´s only
He´s only seventeen

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don´t sit
Mother don´t stand
Mother please don´t send me

What happened to home
What happened to home sweet
What happened to home sweet
Home
