THE BOOK
(Hans Gottwald / Paddy Roberts)

David Whitfield – 1954

Also recorded by:
Robert Earl


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.

It'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.
