All these babies are born To the wrong kind of people And I wish I had known I was not good enough I'm the worst kind of son Bringing shame to my family And I know I have worn my mother's heart out, believe me I saw it, I saw it coming All these things I have done To my little, little sister When I tried to support her, she don't believe me Why should she? I hurt her I mean I hurt her So goodbye, so long, I'm gone already I'm running out of time I'm losing my mind Won't you come take me home? ♪ Goodbye, so long, I'm gone already I'm runnin' out of time I'm losing my mind Won't somebody hold me? ♪ All these babies are born like a field full of poppies Who's gon' know which are torn? I believe I'll soon leave the meadow I see my shadow So goodbye, so long, I'm gone already I'm running out of time I'm losing my mind Won't you come take me home? ♪ So goodbye, so long, I'm gone already I'm running out of time I'm losing my mind I think I'm losing my soul
