Lyrics:
First verse
It's a long way back to my mother's knee, But I wish that I were there, On my mother's knee, it was there that she Took all of my burden and care, And while I sat with mother dear, Where ev'ry child belongs, She used to whisper in my ear The Song of Songs:
Refrain
It's a song that I heard in my childhood, A song that I cannot forget, The song my dear old mother sang, In my dreams I can hear it yet, ""Go to sleep, my baby,"" Once more I'm on her knee, Of all the songs I ever heard, That's the Soong of Songs for me. It's a song that I heard in my childhood, A song that I cannot forget, The song my dear old mother sang, In my dreams I can hear it yet, ""Go to sleep, my baby,"" Once more I'm on her knee, Of all the songs I ever heard, That's the Soong of Songs for me.
Second verse
Ev'ry one who leaves their dear mother's knee, And goes far away to roam, Will at times feel bad, and when we feel sad, It's then that we wish we were home, No matter how, or when, or why, A mother rights all wrongs, That’s why we miss her lullaby, The Song of Songs:
(Refrain)
