I lost touch with him about 15 years ago. If you can find the lyric I'll be eternally grateful. Thanks, Jody Gibson. |

But here's the song. The track is titled "Some Children's Songs From New York"---the cassette is Tom Paley--Old Tom Moore--And More.
Come on home, your mudder's callin,
Go on home, your mudder's callin, Strange, that's all Tom sang. Sorry there's not more. Art Thieme |

We're all of us rough guys. I'm part of a gang on our street. And when to delight us, Some gang comes to fight us, We don't call the cop on the beat. We each one of us takes our place And tells them right off to their face:
“Go on home. Your mudder's callin'.
One day my sweet mudder
“Go on home. Your mudder's callin'.
“Go on home. Your mudder's callin'. |

We highly respects 'em, But still we rejects 'em, 'Cuz us kids are wise to their game. When they come around for a lark, We very politely remark... (Followed by the last chorus, cited above) Ends with: Stay 'way from those joiks By the winegar woiks, Go Home, Go On, Go Home! |

28 Aug 10 - 01:20 PM (#2974642) Subject: ADD: G'wan Home Your Mudder's Callin' (Durante From: GUEST,MizTrish4349 This is how the song was sung in Two Sisters From Boston with Kathryn Grayson, June Allison, Peter Lawford and Jimmy Durante. It was sung by the chorus girls at the Golden Rooster, a Bowery saloon, where Kathryn Grayson and Jimmy Durante work. G'WAN HOME YOUR MUDDER'S CALLIN' (words Ralph Freed. Music, Sammy Fain) We're Peggys and Pollys We don't play with dollies We're part of a gang on our street. And when all the rough guys Pretend to be tough guys We don't call the cop on the beat. We each one of us takes our place And tells them right off to their face G'wan home yer mudder's callin Yer Fadder fell into the garbage can. G'wan home yer mudder's callin They come to collect yer old man. When boys try to date us They soon learns to hate us 'Cause that sissy stuff is too tame. They offer us sodas and strawberry floaters But us kids are wise to their game. Instead of a sock in the eye We gives them the proper reply, G'wan home yer Mudder's callin Yer Fadder got caught in the wash machine. G'wan home yer Mudder's callin She can't get the laundry out clean. One day me sweet Mudder Said fetch yer big Brudder He ain't shown since yesterday noon. So I makes a beeline As fast as a feline To old man McGinty's saloon And just as I peeks thru the door The bouncer he spots me and roars, G'wan home yer Mudder's callin Yer Fadder fell into the garbage can. G'wan home yer Mudder's callin They come to collect yer old man. |
