Mama's Gone, Goodbye lyrics

Fare thee well, mama's gone, goodbye

No use to cry, no use to sigh

For years you've dogged me 'round

Now's the time to let you know what's on my mind

I'm going away, don't ask me why

Fare thee well, I've been to school

Learned a brand new rule

I ain't no fool

I'm gonna get a man to treat me right

One who'll stay home every night

Fare thee well, mama's gone, goodbye

I'm gonna get a man to treat me right

One who'll stay home every night

Fare thee well, fare thee well

Fare thee well, mama's gone, goodbye
