Remember this one? a “Who ran to lift me when . fell And kissed the place to make it well? My Mother.” Of course we'll all be singing Mother McCree and, That Old Irish Mother of Mine—-and was there ever a sweeter bit of descriptive writing than this? ‘In her eyes there's the blue of Killarney, On her cheek there's the rose of Kildare, On her lips there's a wee bit of Blarney, And the snow of Athlone in her hair.”’ Critics remind us that these songs are imperfect, poor poetry, etc., but what do we care?
