From: Ron Davies If you ever still need ideas about this theme, one of my all-time favorites--a wonderful song, with a great message is Mama's Hand, by Hazel Dickens ( especially as sung by Lynn Morris). Are you familiar with that one? |

From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Too late for your show, but MY mother sang this when rocking us: Backward, turn backward O time in thy flight Make me a child again, just for tonight; Mother come back from the echoless shore- Take me again to your heart as of yore. Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair; Over my slumbers your loving watch keep- Rock me to sleep, Mother, rock me to sleep. Two more verses that I know; a very sentimental song- and it always put me right to sleep! Jean |

From: Tannywheeler When I asked for "Tramp On The Street" Saturday (several tradmusic/roots programs) everyone responded with a vocal questionmark, "Billy Joe Shaver". I thought he'd put out a version of it, too, until I googled it. What I wanted was the one Hank W. made famous (tho' he didn't write it); has a chorus that starts: "He was some mother's darlin'. He was some mother's son; Once he was fair and once he was young...." Nobody got it(sad sigh). That's a great song. Would like to hear it some. George Jones did a version, too, I think. Tw |
