Dry your eyes, there's no need to cry
I am so sorry but bye, bye, so long
Mother's gotta go now

I am so sorry to see you cry
Wipe those tears from your eyes, so long
Mother's gotta go now

It's been so long
Since you've been gone away
And baby when [bad word] back
You'll be home to stay

But in the meantime
I'm so lonely and so blue
Why don't you tell me now, tell me now?
What am I gonna do?

I am so sorry to see you cry
Wiping those tears from your eyes, so long
Mother's gotta go now

Dry your eyes
Bye bye, baby
Dry your eyes
Don't cry, baby
