I left my mother in Japan
I left her Tokyo
I left her in the blue Havana
Cafe in Borneo
She fell asleep in Bucharest
I put her on a train
She arrived in a parcel In Budapest
And I cried my tears in vain
I left my mother in Miami
And on the streets of Vancouver
And she was a pearl on the cold Scottish shore
Where the Eagles swoop and the yammy
Tides are washing her like a shell
I left her so I'm going to hell
To find out if I can find her well
But she's probably going to heaven
I left her somewhere off Lundy
I left her on Tuesday
Found her on Sunday
And it is a pool of retirement
fund pay
That the sharks are all circling round
And nothing remains
But the bullet
It's so hard to chew
Not much remains but the brain
Where once such intelligence grew
You say you can save my soul, well who, knew
Who knew did you?
No you needn't say for you don't get pay
For doing what you're supposed to do
You are the same non-believer
Who bit the bullet of faith
Well did it serve you to leave her
When you went and got egg on your face?
And we're all in a traffic jam now boys
All time has come to a stop
For I left to go and buy an ice cream
Just from the snack shop
When I got back she was swimming
When I got back with the pop
And I could see the sunlight
gleaming over the water wave tops
I guess I must have left her for the last time
Just when the carousel stopped
And I climbed off the dancing pony
And then dizzy I just dropped
