THE BOOK
Music: Hans Gotwald
Lyrics: Paddy Roberts

Recorded by David Whitfield
(No 5 - April 1954)


There's a book that my mother gave me,
That I read when the long day is through,
And the stories of old, in leaves edged with gold
Guide me whatever I do,

For I know in its worn old pages, 
I shall find peace of mind when I look,
And the wisdom of all the ages, 
Is there in my mother's book.
