پدرش در ایام کودکی آنها را رها کرده بود و مادرش جولیا نیز در ۱۹۵۸ در تصادف با یک مامور پلیس مست کشته شد.لنون در این زمان هفده ساله بود.
Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you but you didn't need me
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk so I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye
Mama don't go
Daddy come home
