Lyrics

My son, my son, what's wrong with you?
I just don't understand
Isolated gone away
To such a far off land
You don't respond you don't reach out
What's floating through your mind?
My son, my son, what's wrong with you
Where are the ties that bind?

(chorus)
Will you attend my funeral?
When I'm put in my grave
C'mon I think you should be here
Stand up, try to be brave
When death has taken your old man
And I'm placed in my grave
Will you attend my funeral?
To give a final wave?

What's wrong, what's wrong, my precious son
The one who wanders far
You can't escape the blood that flows
Inside came from you Pa
Half your spirit came from me
The rest comes from Mama
What's wrong, what's wrong, my precious son
So close and yet so far

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Don't say goodbye my precious son
My love for you won't die
I'll always be right here for you
Oh me, oh may, oh my!

(repeat chorus)
