Thread Name: 'Mother Songs' of the tear-jerker variety
Subject: RE: 'Mother Songs' of the tear-jerker variety
Does anyone know all the lyrics to the tearjerkers my mother used to sing?

1.
"Mother when I go to heaven
Will the angels let me play?
Just because I am a cripple
Will they say I'm in the way?"

2.
"her young life must go when the last leaves fall...
So I'm tying the leaves so they won't come down,
So Nellie won't go away."
