A child was born on a cold and windy night Not far away from the burning village lights Another son in a poor family Bit short on money but the loving ran free And as he grew from a boy to a man His mama cried but he didn't understand Somehow she knew oh that someday he would go Into the world and a life of his own Say goodbye but never deny All the love you're leaving behind Don't forget all the feelings you know They'll be with you wherever you go Out in the world he's been living the good life House, car and money with a true and loving wife A child is born to this new family They gave her everything with love guaranteed And as she grew and the quarrels began Her papa cried but she didn't understand Somehow he know oh that someday she would go Into the world and a life of her own
