If not part of CC Rider, can anyone tell me what song it is from? I thought it was something like: Look what you done done, *****, now my apron strings won't tie. Thank you in advance. Annamill |

What oh what will mother say When I come home in the family way She'll tear and bite her tongue Cause she did the same when she was young |

Once I wore my apron low You followed me through rain and snow Now my apron strings don't meet You pass me by on the other side of the street I miss my mother and my father too I left them all when I followed you cheers John |

People often make the mistake of assuming that, just because songs share the odd verse, they "must" be related or even "versions" of each other. Not so. This particular "floating" verse is so common that its appearance in a song isn't really evidence of anything much. |
