Mali
In old East Putnam
A very long time ago
Mother sang this song to me
Oh so soft and low
It's just a simple ditty
She sang rocking in her chair
my mind still wanders,
Back to that old farm again
I feel her a hugging me
As she did back then
Her voice would be a hummin
As she'd rock me in her chair
