Tell my mother to worry none
Tell my father I’ve grown big and strong 
Tell my sister hold onto her smile 
Tell my lover I’ll be gone for a while 

I’m a young boy 
In the heart and mind 
I want to see more 
Than this city line 
So I’ll pack up my things 
And off I go 
I won’t be back around here no more 

Tell my mother to worry none 
Tell my father I’ve grown big and strong 
Tell my sister hold onto her smile 
Tell my lover I’ll be gone for a while 

I’ve seen the hills 
And the fields of green 
I’ve swam the rivers 
And I’ve sailed the seas 
But in my heart  
You’ll always be 
I’ll think of you 
And you’ll think of me 

Tell my mother to worry none 
Tell my father I’ve grown big and strong 
Tell my sister hold onto her smile 
Tell my lover I’ll be gone for a while 

I’ve got hands to hold 
And eyes to see 
Legs to move 
And lungs to breath 
Lips for loving 
Only one 
And I will hold her  
When the morning comes 

Tell my mother to worry none
Tell my father I’ve grown big and strong 
Tell my sister hold onto her smile 
Tell my lover I’ll be gone for a while
