My Yiddishe Momme Lyrics
My Yiddishe Momme - Connie Francis (康妮 法蓝西斯)
Written by:Jack Yellen/Lew Pollack
Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share
And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair
My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement
Three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent
It wasn't much like paradise but 'mid the dirt and all
There sat the sweetest angel one that I fondly call
Her jewels her treasures she found them in her baby's smiles
Oh I know that I owe what I am today
To that kind little lady so old and gray
To that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
My yiddishe momme of mine
