| 作词 : Banks, Collins, Rutherford | |
| Ma would never say what happened | |
| And we knew better than push too hard | |
| We knew we had all the chores to tend to | |
| Like fixing fences and helping her | |
| Washing dishes and making coffee | |
| Me and Virgil'd chop some wood | |
| But we'd stop our swinging | |
| Just to listen to her crying | |
| It didn't sound too good | |
| I can remember, too well | |
| But we never thought to pay much heed | |
| We learned to live life the best we could | |
| But then one day pa upped and left us | |
| High and dry without a word | |
| Seemed a pity | |
| My ma was pretty | |
| But I soon learned life ain't that way | |
| And I can remember hearing her weeping | |
| While we were sleeping next to her | |
| I can remember | |
| I'll never forgive and I'll never forget | |
| Cos pa you broke her heart | |
| Ooh pa you broke her heart | |
| You broke her heart | |
| Ooh pa you broke her heart | |
| Well the years rolled by | |
| And 'fore we knew it | |
| Our sister got married and moved out west | |
| I stayed with ma, cos I couldn't desert her | |
| I knew it would hurt her to be alone | |
| So we pulled tighter | |
| We said we'd try to make things easy | |
| And raise a smile | |
| But as the night came | |
| We'd hear her crying | |
| Praying for pa to come back again | |
| I can remember | |
| I'll never forgive him and I'll never forget | |
| Cos pa you broke her heart | |
| Oh pa you broke her heart | |
| And then the winter came | |
| I'd never known it colder | |
| Ooh it seemed the worst for years | |
| And the night she died I swear I saw her smiling | |
| Saying I was a big boy now, no tears | |
| So I packed up all we had, and Virgil got the horses | |
| And we paid our last respects and gave the whip a crack | |
| Ooh, seemed a big bad world, we were riding into | |
| Me and Virgil both agreed, we best head off | |
| And don't look back | |
| Nothing but desert all around | |
| Oh it made me wonder | |
| Lord it's hard to carry on | |
| When you're sick with hunger | |
| Weeks and months of sleeping rough | |
| Keeping clear of danger | |
| Seems we were miles from anywhere | |
| And too far gone to change it | |
| We'd best keep going, don't look back | |
| Well me and Virgil we beat the desert | |
| Riding fast and riding hard | |
| We hit the city, the past behind us | |
| So we raised some hell, we had some fun | |
| But real soon I met a lady oh so pretty, and oh so fine | |
| 'fore too long I found myself married | |
| With a home of my own and a blue eyed son | |
| And 'til this day I can hear ma saying to me - | |
| "You're a big boy now" |
