Good morning son
|
It's off to school you go
|
Mom's gone to work you know
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
There's a bank robbery that's going on
|
Ooh this very morn
|
Mom's gone to wrok for sure
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
Officers the bank is being held
|
By two gunmen that don't mean well
|
Mom's on the job can't you tell
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
To see your son
|
|
Daughter don't be a policeman
|
Please be a school teacher instead
|
You're so good with the children
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
Teacher please excuse these boys from class
|
Their mother gone from a gunshot blast
|
Another cop shot down on patrol
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
To see your son
|
|
The gangsters killed our mother dead
|
All is lost from our family
|
They tried to save our mom in vain
|
She drowned in blood and she was not saved
|
The bank is open and the robbers jailed
|
And Mom won't be coming home
|
The way they run their world so wrong
|
How can us brothers get along
|
Mom when are you coming home
|
