My husband used to sing this song and I once was able to get the words on the internet, but not the music. would like to download it.


THE SANGS MY MOTHER SANG TO ME
'George's Song'

I long to hear the melodies my mother used to sing,
in memories of my childhood days, in my ears I hear them ring
.
There's an echo in each melody that goes beyond recall,
the sangs my mother used to sing are the sweetest sangs of all.

I have heard the 'Mavis' singing! She oft times sang to me,
by yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
when I was but a child upon her knee-ee-ee.

And it was here, within a mile of old Edinburgh Town,
for there's not a place in all-ll this world, back in my ain wee house.

And I'd give the world to hear again, the sangs my mother used to sing.
