A Yiddishe Mame ("Miller's Death") |
Of things I should be thankful for |
I’ve had a goodly share; |
And as I sit here in the comfort, |
Of my cozy chair; |
My fancy takes me to a humble, |
East-side tenement; |
Three flights up in the rear to where |
my childhood days were spent. |
It wasn’t much like paradise |
But mid the dirt and all; |
There sat the sweetest angel |
One that I fondly call |
My Yiddishe mama |
I need her more than ever now |
My Yiddishe mama |
I’d like to kiss that wrinkled brow |
I long to hold her hands once more |
As in days gone by |
And ask her to forgive me |
For things i did to make her cry; |
How few were her pleasures! |
She never cared for fashion styles; |
Her jewels and treasures |
She found them in her babies' smiles; |
Oh I know what I owe what I am |
To that dear little lady |
So old and grey, |
To that Yiddishe mama |
