[Verse 1]
Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 2]
Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 3]
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home
Mama don't go, Daddy come home

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
