Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord. 
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.

So many things a father can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord
