How I remember my mama singing both songs to my sisters and me, and "Alabama Coon" my daddy sang saying his mother sang it to him.



Does anyone know about another song she sang that I have searched for everywhere and cannot find: It must be a war-time song and it goes something like this.....
   
       "You and I are all along,
       I have only you.
       Father's love you never have known
       Mother must love for two.
       Over your bed a snow white dove
       Lingers the whole night through -
       Bringing a message of hope and love
       Out of the starry blue...."

Thanks for any suggestions!
