    Default Solved: Song my mum used to sing to me

    I have a song that my mum used to sing to me when i was little. I've recently tried looking it up on the net but didn't have much luck. Was hoping someone here might have the answer.

    Here are the lyrics:

    Over the plains with the emu's
    That's where i long to go
    Snuggled up warm in his feathers
    Warmer than most kids i know
    Wouldn't we go along swiftly
    Faster than any train
    But when it comes to my bedtime
    I want my mummy again.

    Lol I know it's a bit poxy but i have fond memories of my mum singing this to me when i was tiny and it would be great if anyone had any info on it.

    Been thinking the same thing for ages. My mum sung it to me as well. When i found this i nearly died. How could i forget all those pointless hours in front of the piano. Mum was a teacher and without adout i was her worst student! Hope this link helps.

    Music by Albert Furnes

    Over The Plains With The Emu

    Over the plains with the Emu
    That’s where I’d just love to go
    Snuggled right down in his feathers
    Softer than most beds I know

    Wouldn’t we go along quickly
    Almost as fast as a train
    But when it got around bedtime
    I’d want my mamma again
