Mama  she  wrote  me  a  letter
saying  shes  gonna  be  fine
pls  take  good  care  of  your  sister
i'll  be  home  in  three  years  time
Mama  it  seems  like  forever
you've  been  gone  since  i  was  five
they  say  you  were  a  good  teacher
in  the  same  school  where  i  cant  survive
**Mama  is  a  maid  in  london
i  want  to  belive  that  she's  fine
she  could  be  lonely  in  london
i  want  to  know
why  she  had  to  go
i  need  her,i  want  to  be  near  her
i've  got  to  be  with  her
and  see  to  it  that  we're  together  once  more
My  english  teacher  she  told  me
she  wants  to  be  where  you  are
Mama  shes  leaving  her  family
to  earn  all  the  money  she  wants
London,Vancouver,or  hongkong
governess,house  kepper ,or  nurse
what  is  to  happen  to  all  of  us  children
with  mothers  who  travel  so  far
