A Yiddishe Momme |
| My yiddishe momme |
| I need her more then ever now |
| My yiddishe momme |
| I long to kiss her wrinkled brow |
| I long to hold her hands as in days gone by |
| And ask her to forgive me for |
| Things I did to make her cry |
| How few were her treasures |
| She never cared for fashion’s styles |
| Her jewels and her pleasures |
| She found them in her baby’s smiles |
| Oh I know what I owe |
| And I am today |
| To that dear little lady so old and gray |
| To that dear little yiddishe momme |
| Mother of mine |
