I Pity The Mother And The Father lyrics
I pity the mother and the father when the children are gone
Their life work complete still they must carry on
So many families separated today
And I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
CHORUS: 1
No welfare check - or government plan
Can ease the pain in the heart of a lonely man
Or a lonely woman who gave her all that you might live today
Yes I pity the mother and the father
when the kids move away
In the oiden days a family never strayed far from home
One or two might move away but the rest would carry on
But we re scattered to the winds in this old world today
And I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
They wanted so bad for you to have it good
Didn t give you everything - but they did the best they could
And they know that you must move away with a family of your own
Still I pity the mother and the father
When the children are gone
No miracle drug in a nursing home
Can say I love you mama and daddy
When you re all alone
To a man or woman who gave their all
That you might live today
Yes I pity the mother and the father
When the kids move away
When the kids move away
