amazing rhythm aces - 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
