Couldn't find it in the data base.. "I wouldn't trade the silver in my mother's hair for all the gold in the world..." Maybe I'm using the wrong key words... Can anyone help me out??? It's for my grandmother.... today is her birthday... 100..

I really thought it would be at Cowpie, but I didn't find it. I doubt it will be at Levy; it's too "new". I've heard it but don't know it.

It's an old, old song... My mother sang it at least 50 years ago to her mother... Someone must know it..Any help?

Old, yes, but for it to be at Levy, it must be pre 1927; I think that is the date. Date I found for it was mid '30's and later. Eddy Arnold did it, among others.

Only problem is, that is a sound file. I am not going to transcribe from there. Bobbi can if she likes.

Here are the lyrics. These come from the Eddy Arnold recording. Sorry, but I'm not savvy enough to provide notes or chords.

I WOULDN'T TRADE THE SILVER IN MY MOTHER'S HAIR

I wouldn't trade the silver in my mother's hair
For all the gold in the world
The hands that rocked my cradle through all my baby days
Are treasures from the sky that money just can't buy

God gave us mothers and tried to be fair
When he gave me mine, I got more than my share
I wouldn't trade the silver in my mother's hair
For all the gold in the world

Break

God gave us mothers and tried to be fair
When he gave me mine, I got more than my share

I wouldn't trade the silver in my mother's hair
For all the gold in the world
