Thread Name: 'Mother Songs' of the tear-jerker variety
Subject: RE: 'Mother Songs' of the tear-jerker variety
Does anybody know the words or, even better, have the sheet music to "Just for the Sake of Our Daughter." By the way, there'll be an exhibit this summer at the Smithsonian's Museum of American Art called, "American ABC: Childhood in the 19th Century." Songs like "COME HOME FATHER" and "FATHER'S A DRUNKARD AND MOTHER IS DEAD" are relevant.
