[00:00.17]My Yiddishe Momme - Part 1 - Sophie Tucker/Florence Weiss
[00:13.12]Of things I should be thankful for
[00:17.22]I've had a goodly share
[00:20.86]And as I sit here
[00:22.39]In the comfort
[00:24.33]Of my cosy chair
[00:27.32]My fancy takes me
[00:29.19]To a humble
[00:30.63]Eastside tenement
[00:33.63]Three flights
[00:35.25]In the rear to where
[00:38.31]My childhood days were spent
[00:42.72]It wasn't much like paradise
[00:46.84]But 'mid the dirt and all
[00:51.00]There sats
[00:52.91]The sweetest angel
[00:56.52]One that I fondly call
[01:06.75]My yiddishe momme
[01:12.72]I need her more then ever now
[01:18.25]My yiddishe momme
[01:23.27]I'd like to kiss
[01:24.60]That wrinkled brow
[01:28.58]I long to hold her hands
[01:31.81]Once more
[01:34.25]As in days gone by
[01:39.06]And ask her
[01:41.04]To forgive me for
[01:44.43]Things I did that made her cry
[01:49.25]How few were her pleasures
[01:54.54]She never cared for fashion's styles
[01:59.36]Her jewels and treasures
[02:04.24]She found them in her baby's smiles
[02:10.00]Oh I know that I owe
[02:15.10]What I am today
[02:20.40]To that dear little lady
[02:25.07]So old and gray
[02:29.98]To that wonderful yiddishe
[02:35.82]Momme of
[02:39.13]Momme mine
