    Cool Help identify old lullaby

    Heard it back in the 50's. Was sung by a big band orchestra. The last verse went something like this:

    "Dream of the fields while you still can
    Childhood is but a day
    Even when you're a great big man
    Mama won't go away"

    Be a hero and help me learn the title to this song and get the rest of the lyrics. You'll go to heaven for sure.

    The song is called "Hush-A-Bye" with Danny Thomas.
    It was in a movie called "The Jazz Singer" from 1952.

    I have a few more lines... but not the whole song.

    LuLuLa LuLu Hush a bye
    Dream of the angels way up high
    LuLuLa LuLu Don't you cry
    Mama won't go away
    Dream in my arms while you still can
    Childhood is but a day
    Even when you are great big man
    Mama won't go away

    PS: Do I get wings now? :-)

    Cayman,
    I am looking for information also about Hush-A-Bye sung by Danny Thomas in the movie called "The Jazz Singer". It must have been recorded by someone else also, wasn't it? Where did that song originally come from? A couple of people mentioned it sounds Jewish. My father & grandmother sang that song to me only when I was very little, there I never heard of it again.

    The way my Mother sang it to me (as a female)
    Tura Lura Don't you cry
    Dream of the angels way up high
    Tura Lura Don't you cry
    Momma won't go away

    Sleep in my arms
    While you still can
    Childhood is but a day
    Even when your a great big women
    Momma won't go away

    Tura Lura don't you cry
    Dream of the angels way up high
    Tura Lura Don't you cry
    Momma won't go away
