Autumn leaves are falling on the riverside A young lady with bitter tears in her eyes Either leave or get buried into the ground But a mummy can never part from her child Autumn leaves are coloring her thighs and arms When she can't hide them, well she knows how to lie She is just like a bird with two broken wings But she's about to find some other way to fly Oh won't you never come back Escape escape Oh won't you never come back Run, run mother run Run, run mother run Oh oh escape from the trap Oh won't you never come back Escape from the trap Oh but how long will it last Run Run Autumn leaves are falling on the riverside But a mummy can never part from her child
