Can't Blame You Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Can′t blame you when you're going
This is something you′ve got to do
You've got to go ho ho
Trying so hard not to cry
Since they say a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears keep running from my eyes
I remember the day I came to the city.
My children were crying
My wife was scared she′s gonna lose me
To the girls in the city
To make her feel alright
I said it′s impossible
To make her feel alright
I said it's impossible but was wrong
Can′t blame you when you're going
This is something you′ve got to do
You've got to go ho ho
Can′t blame you when you're going
This is something you've got to do
You′ve got to go ho ho


You′ve been keeping me here all these years
As your private lover
Letters came from home
But I never answered
Till tonight when I got this letter
From my little daughter saying
"Missing you Daddy"
It's time to go
Can′t blame you when you're going
This is something you′ve got to do
You've got to go ho ho
Can′t blame you when you're going
This is something you've got to do
You′ve got to go ho ho
Letters came from home
But I never answered
Till today when I got this letter
From my little daughter saying
"Missing you Daddy"
See me now, see me no more
I heard that whistle blow
I knew it′s time to go
Sitting here in this train
Going so fast past the trees
I'm thinking of words to apologize
Cause sorry ain′t enough
Can't blame you when you′re going
This is something you've got to do
You′ve to go ho ho
