《My Yiddisher Momme》歌词

[00:00:00] My Yiddishe Momme (1925) - Anne Shelton

[00:00:29] Of things I should be thankful

[00:00:31] For I've had a goodly share

[00:00:35] And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair

[00:00:41] My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement

[00:00:47] Three flights up in the rear to

[00:00:49] Where my childhood days were spent

[00:00:54] It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all

[00:01:00] There sat the sweetest angel one that I fondly call

[00:01:11] My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now

[00:01:19] My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow

[00:01:27] I long to hold her hands 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

[00:01:42] How few were her pleasures

[00:01:46] She never cared for fashion's styles

[00:01:50] Her jewels and treasures

[00:01:54] She found them in her baby's smiles

[00:01:58] Oh I know that I owe what I am today

[00:02:03] To that dear little lady so old and gray

[00:02:07] To that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine

[00:02:44] How few were her pleasures

[00:02:48] She never cared for fashion's styles

[00:02:52] Her jewels and treasures

[00:02:56] She found them in her baby's smiles

[00:03:00] Oh I know that I owe what I am today

[00:03:10] To that dear little lady so old and gray

[00:03:20] To that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
