I Pity the Mother and the Father (When the Kids Move Away) - The Amazing Rhythm Aces[00:00:00]
I pity the mother and the father[00:00:06]
When the children are gone[00:00:08]
Their life work complete still they must carry on[00:00:11]
So many families separated today[00:00:17]
And I pity the mother and the father[00:00:21]
When the kids move away[00:00:24]
They wanted so bad for you to have it good[00:00:27]
Didn't give you everything[00:00:32]
But they did the best they could[00:00:34]
And they know that you must move away[00:00:38]
With a family of your own[00:00:40]
Still I pity the mother and the father[00:00:43]
When the children are gone[00:00:45]
No welfare check no welfare check[00:00:48]
Or government plan or government plan[00:00:50]
Can ease the pain in the heart of a lonely man[00:00:53]
Or a lonely woman[00:00:57]
Who gave her all that you might live today[00:00:59]
Yes I pity the mother and the father[00:01:02]
When the kids move away[00:01:05]
In the oiden days a family never strayed far from home[00:01:14]
One or two might move away but the rest would carry on[00:01:19]
But we're scattered to the winds in this old world today[00:01:25]
And I pity the mother and the father[00:01:29]
When the kids move away[00:01:31]
No miracle drug no miracle drug[00:01:34]
In a nursing home in a nursing home[00:01:37]
Can say I love you mama and daddy[00:01:39]
When you're all alone[00:01:41]
To a man or woman who gave their all[00:01:44]
That you' might live today[00:01:47]
Yes I pity the mother and the father[00:01:49]
When the kids move away[00:01:51]
All I pity the mother and the father[00:01:54]
When the kids move away[00:01:57]
