If The Rest Of The World Don’t Want You (Come Back To Mother And Dad)

[Verse: Alberta Hunter]
When you've started to roam away from your home
And you've left all your dear ones behind
When your wandering years have been filled with tears
There's just one thing to bear in mind

[Chorus: Alberta Hunter]
If the rest of the world don't want you
If the rest of the world don't care
If they all frown and turn you down
There's a welcome for you somewhere
When you've lost all your pride
And they've cast you aside
When you've lost every friend you had
If the rest of the world don't want you
Then go back to your mother and dad

[Chorus: Alberta Hunter & Elkins-Payne Jubilee Singers]
If the rest of the world don't want you
If the rest of the world don't care
If they all frown and turn you down
There's a welcome for you somewhere
When you've lost all your pride
And they've cast you aside
When you've lost every friend you had
If the rest of the world don't want you
Then go back to your mother and dad
