The Virtual Gramophone: Songs from France

When did you write to mother last?

That old Irish mother of mine

Mother mine

My mother bids me bind my hair

Songs my mother taught me

My mother's humming lullaby

Maman dites-moi = [Mother, please explain], ou, [Tell me, Mama]

Sur les genoux de ta mère

Votre mère et la mienne = Your mother and mine

Break the news to Mother

M-O-T-H-E-R (a word that means the world to me)

And her mother came too

That's what God made mothers for

M-O-T-H-E-R

C : Minstrel ballad : Mother's watch by the sea, or, [Mother watched by the sea]

Just break the news to Mother

Mother Machree

Les jambes en l'air

C'est Marie-Thalon

Mitaine et Chausson
