Good morning son

It's off to school you go

Mom's gone to work you know

Mom when are you coming home

There's a bank robbery that's going on

Ooh this very morn

Mom's gone to wrok for sure

Mom when are you coming home

Officers the bank is being held

By two gunmen that don't mean well

Mom's on the job can't you tell

Mom when are you coming home

Mom when are you coming home

To see your son



Daughter don't be a policeman

Please be a school teacher instead

You're so good with the children

Mom when are you coming home

Teacher please excuse these boys from class

Their mother gone from a gunshot blast

Another cop shot down on patrol

Mom when are you coming home

Mom when are you coming home

To see your son



The gangsters killed our mother dead

All is lost from our family

They tried to save our mom in vain

She drowned in blood and she was not saved

The bank is open and the robbers jailed

And mom won't be coming home

The way they run their world so wrong

How can us brothers get along

Mom when are you coming home
