My Yiddishe Momme - Anne Shelton/Ambrose & His Orchestra[00:00:00]
Written by:Jack Yellen[00:00:15]
Of things I should be thankful[00:00:30]
For I've had a goodly share[00:00:33]
And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair[00:00:37]
My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement[00:00:43]
Three flights up in the rear to[00:00:49]
Where my childhood days were spent[00:00:51]
It wasn't much like paradise but 'mid the dirt and all[00:00:56]
There sat the sweetest angel one that I fondly call[00:01:03]
My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now[00:01:14]
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow[00:01:22]
I long to hold her hands[00:01:31]
Once more as in days gone by[00:01:34]
And ask her to forgive me for things[00:01:39]
I did that made her cry[00:01:43]
How few were her pleasures[00:01:47]
She never cared for fashion's styles[00:01:51]
Her jewels and her treasures[00:01:54]
She found them in her baby's smiles[00:01:59]
Oh I know that I owe what I am today[00:02:04]
To that dear little lady so old and gray[00:02:08]
To that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine[00:02:13]
How few were her pleasures[00:02:51]
She never cared for fashion's styles[00:02:55]
Her jewels and her treasures[00:02:59]
She found them in her baby's smiles[00:03:03]
Oh I know that I owe what I am today[00:03:08]
To that dear little lady so old and so gray[00:03:18]
To that wonderful yiddishe momme mo of my mine[00:03:28]
