I know it's not a folk song but maybe someone can help. It was popular about 1955 ?. I can't remember the singer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jimmy |

My Papa words by John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons music by Paul Burkhard Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful; Oh, my papa, to me he was so good. No one could be so gentle and so lovable; Oh, my papa, he always understood. Gone are the days when he would take me on his knee; And with a smile, he'd change my tears to laughter. Oh, my papa, so funny, so adorable; Always the clown, so funny in his way. Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful; Deep in my heart I miss him so today. Oh, my papa, Oh, my papa, Oh! my papa. |

25 Jul 02 - 01:57 AM (#754220) Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: OH MY PAPA From: Joe Offer Genie linked to the previous thread, which gives the original (copyright 1948) lyrics by Swiss conductor/composer Paul Burkhard. That thread indicates that the song may have appeared in a musical that came out in 1939. The English lyrics, "Oh! My Pa-Pa," were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, published in 1953. ...or so says The Book of World-Famous Music. -Joe Offer- In the interest of consolidation, here are the chords, as posted in another thread.

25 Jul 02 - 05:43 AM (#754277) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh Mine Papa From: greg stephens The first line has come back to me, it was "Oh mypapa, to me you were so horrible". It wasnt rude, no child molesting I think, just general mistreatment of some kind. |

11 Dec 03 - 10:52 PM (#1070699) Subject: Lyr Add: OH MY PAPPY (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon Lyrics transcribed from the sound file at http://www.geocities.com/u2page6/ OH MY PAPPY (As sung by Homer & Jethro) Oh, my pappy, he left the farm and moved to town. He got so old he couldn't horse around. Oh, my pappy has got more nerve than anyone. Now he can't budge since he ate mother's fudge. The doctor walked in with a needle and a grin. He gave him penicillin where he wasn't illin'. They took him into surgery just to see what made him ail. When they operated, they opened mother's male. When we took pappy home, you should have seen him spread the gloom. He thought that he was dyin', so he went in the livin' room. Oh, my pappy! Sometimes he's good; sometimes he's bad, But he can't replace my love for Old Granddad. (SOUND EFFECT of pulling a stopper from a bottle, pouring, drinking, gasping, and then:) Whoo-ooh! [Recorded by Homer & Jethro on "Homer & Jethro Strike Back," 1962.] |

03 May 08 - 01:19 PM (#2332073) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh Mine Papa/O Mein Papa From: Joe Offer Hi - I moved your message over to the thread that has the German lyrics. This Amazon.de search gives 13 pages of recordings of "O Mein Papa," but I don't see one right off by a young boy (well, there's this one, but the boy is playing a trumpet. I have a Deutsche Schlager CD box set with a 1951 German recording by Orchester Bert Kaempfert (follow the link for his interesting story). Trouble is, the choristers keep singing "O Mein Papa" over and over, and a trumpet replaces the singers on the rest of the song. -Joe- |

03 May 08 - 06:17 PM (#2332269) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh Mine Papa/O Mein Papa From: Gulliver There was a boy singer in the sixties (actually he was Dutch but sang in German as well) that recorded this kind of stuff. Another was Harald Martin (I think), a German boy singer in the eighties, who might have recorded it. Don |

06 Oct 09 - 04:28 PM (#2739893) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh Mine Papa/O Mein Papa From: GUEST,Cindy I know "Oh My Papa" as one side of a 45 by Jim Ed Brown and the Browns (the other side was "The Old Lamplighter" which was actually the "A" side). That record was probably from somewhere between 1959 and 1962, so it was close to 10 years old when I was listening to it. I remember I learned to play it on a small electric organ we had -- hey, by then it was the late sixties, early seventies, didn't everyone have some sort of electric organ? LOL |
