«Dear Old Ma» 1915
Words by Jack Frost
Music by Henry S. Sawyer
(With great expression)
There's a vision in the evening
when the shadows softly fall,
Dear old Ma, dear old Ma...
When the night wind softly whispers,
seems to me I hear you call,
dear old Ma.
I'm longing for an old time kiss,
I want to hold your hand,
I'd like to tell my troubles to the one
who'd understand;
So I'm coming back to greet you,
the sweetest in the land,
Dear old Ma, dear old Ma...
Chorus: (Tenderly)
Dear old Ma, dear old Ma,
I'm coming back, altho' the way be far;
For thro' all the years of smiles and tears
you've been my guiding star,
Dear old Ma, dear old Ma, dear old Ma...
