Thread Name: ID Help: Old Song - As through a country village
Subject: ID Help: Old Song
Who wrote/recorded this oldie - it may be in data base already?
As through a country village I chanced to pass one day A broken hearted woman A mother old and grey She stopped me as I passed her And said so plaintively Are you from the city You look like you may be
I told her I had travelled To see my daughter there The tears came down like raindrops Her face was lined with care I guess your daughters here Sir But mine is far away And that is why I stopped you As you passed by today
If you should see my daughter Please tell her to come home Her mother's heart is broken Since she has gone to roam Oh send her to me quickly And tell her not to wait I"m getting old and feeble And she might come too late
