Hi, guys. There was a movie made of McCourt's "Angela's Ashes". At the party scene at the end "Angela" sings a song about taking care of your mother, 'cause you'll miss her when she's gone. This song was very popular at a local weekly session that went on in Austin during the early 1980s. (We had a group of songs referred to as "the death spiral" we might sing if there'd been a death in someone's family recently. Some of them were deep and bitter, some matter-of-fact, some facetious.) One of the lines of this song was "...though withered, old, and gray. You'll never miss your mother's love 'til she's buried beneath the clay." I never heard that song attributed to any one. I thought of it as public domain, at least. When we recognized (my hubby and I had been invited to a sneak preview of this movie) the song after the first 3 notes/words, we clutched hands, looked at each other, tried not to laugh out loud.      Tw
