Can't Blame You Lyrics - Singles - Lucky Dube

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 

But I 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 

You've been keeping me here 

All these years as your private lover 

Letters came from home 

But I never answered 

Till today 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 

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 got to go ho ho
