04 Nov 03 - 02:33 AM (#1047435) Subject: ADD: Mother and Child - Maddy Prior From: Joe Offer MOTHER AND CHILD (Maddy Prior) ``Why do you laugh so loud?'' Said the mother to her child ``To stop myself from crying'' The child replied ``Then why do you cry all night'' Said the mother to her child ``To stop my laughter waking you'' The child replied ``Where are all your friends from school?'' Said the mother to her child ``All married off to mortgages'' The child replied ``Oh why do you not marry?'' Said the mother to her child ``Because, because, because'' The child replied ``Why not marry and have children?'' Said the mother to her child ``You ask too many questions'' The child replied ``But it's only because I love you'' Said the mother to her child ``That's why I cannot answer'' The child replied from Reinhard Zierke's site, cited above by Masato. This track (with Maddy Prior, vocals and David Palmer, keyboards) from Maddy Prior's first solo album Woman In The Wings was also released on the Maddy Prior compilation Memento. Later Maddy re-recorded this song with Rick Kemp for their album Happy Families. A live recording from the Maddy Prior, Family & Friends Christmas tour of 1999 was released on the CD Ballads And Candles. |
