"Child's Song" was written by Murray McLauchlan and subsequently recorded also by Tom Rush and David Bromberg. "Poor Man's Daughter" is by Buffy Sainte Marie. Both are awesome narrative ballads. Appreciate any help! Poor Man's Daughter (Buffy Sainte-Marie) |

"Child's Song" was written and performed by Murray McLauchlin, then also recorded (at least) by Tom Rush and David Bromberg. "Poor Man's Daughter" is a great narrative ballad by Buffy Sainte-Marie. Help me, please, and I'll be indebted! Thanks - LBG |

Here's the recording by Murray McLauchlan: And by Tom Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT3be69X-Xg Here's my transcription of the McLauchlan recording. CHILD'S SONG (Murray McLauchlan) Goodbye momma, goodbye to you too pa Little sister, you'll have to wait a while to come along Goodbye to this house and all its memories We all just got too old to say we're wrong I forgot to make one last trip to my bedroom I guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind It's funny how the same old crooked pictures Just don't look the same to me tonight There ain't no use in shedding no more tears, ma And there ain't no use in shouting at me, pa I can't live no longer with your fears, ma I love you, but that hasn't helped at all All of us gotta do what matters And each of us must see what we can see Though it was long ago you must remember That you were once as young and scared as me Mamma I don't know how hard it is yet When you realize you're growing old I know how hard is now to be younger And I know you're tryin' to keep me from the cold But thanks for all you done, it may sound hollow Thank you for the good time that we've known But I must have my own road to follow You will all be welcome in my home So, I have got my suitcase, I must go now I don't mind about the things you said Sorry, ma, I don't know where I'm going And remember little sister, look ahead Tomorrow I'll be in some other sunrise And maybe I'll have someone by my side Mamma give your love back to your husband Father you've taught we well, goodbye Goodbye Mamma, goodbye to you too pa Goodbye momma, goodbye to you too pa |
