Goodbye Mother
I am joinin' the army
I don't want you to forget me
Papa said it was time
For me to pack up and go
I guess Daddy is right
But I'd rather stay here with you
Mama it'll all right
With pride I'll stand tall for the country
I'll do what I've got to do
But I'll miss you
I can't forget the moment I said
Goodbye Mother
Bombs have been dropped
Now the guns are bein' fired
It's getting tough
I'm getting tired
We lost Mitchell
I was standin' by his side
I lost a brother Mama,
It's me who closed his eyes.
With pride I'll stand tall for the country
I'll do what I've got to do
But I'll miss you
I can't forget the moment I said
Goodbye Mother
With pride I'll stand tall for the country
I'll do what I've got to do
But I'll miss you
I can't forget the moment I said
Goodbye Mother
I can't forget the moment I said
Goodbye Mother
