Can You Hear Me Mother? 1938 Vs2 JPitt-Payne

Whenever I'm in trouble
or I ever get a fright.
I never run away to try to hide.
I simply shout for mother,
then I know that I'll be safe,
for very soon I'll find her by my side.
I never shout for father
'cos I know he's always out,
but I always know that mother
will be somewhere round about.

So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then my mother knows it's me;
I never shout, my sister or my brother,
'cos they're as selfish as can be.
But mother's always thinking
of her precious little lamb,
she's very very anxious
till she knows just where I am;
So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then mother knows that I'm alright.

So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then my mother knows it's me;
I never shout, my sister or my brother,
'cos they're as selfish as can be.
But mother's always thinking
of her precious little lamb,
she's very very anxious
till she knows just where I am;
So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then mother knows that I'm alright.

If I go for my holiday,
I never go alone.
'Cos I've been told to study safety first.
And so I take my mother,
just to keep me from all harm,
in case I meet a girl or get a thirst.
If mother's with me
I can have my fling and gad about
and if there's any trouble, well,
I've only got to shout..

So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then my mother knows it's me;
I never shout, my sister or my brother,
'cos they're as selfish as can be.
But mother's always thinking
of her precious little lamb,
she's very very anxious
till she knows just where I am;
So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then mother knows that I'm alright.

So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then my mother knows it's me;
I never shout, my sister or my brother,
'cos they're as selfish as can be.
But mother's always thinking

she's very very anxious
till she knows just where I am;
So when I shout:
"Can you hear me mother?"
Then mother knows that I'm alright.
