Lyrics
Mama bye, mama bye
I'm leaving home
Mama bye, mama bye
I'm leaving home
Cuz your son is now a man
And I'm off to unknown lands
So mama bye, mama bye
I'm leaving home
You can find me
You can find me on the road
You can find me
You can find me on the road
Though I strive to survive
I just can't watch another one of
My young brothers die
So you can find me
You can find me on the road
Brother man, sista ma'am
Get it right
Brother man, sista ma'am
Get it right
Ancestors died, ancestors died
So you could have a better life
So brother man, sista ma'am
Get it right
Mama bye, mama bye
I'm leaving home
Mama bye, mama bye
I'm leaving home
So many lessons I have to learn
And if by chance I don?t return
Have no fear
I did my best while I was here
