Need Help Identifying This Song

[happyfilmluvguy]

As far as I know, the song is called Momma. It's been baffling me for a year.

 

[LizzieMaine]

It's "Momma Don't Allow," a 19th-century folk/minstrel song that showed up in a lot of 20th-century campfire songbooks. Very popular with blues/country/hillbilly performers of the 30's.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

This hillbilly gal and her brother sang Mama don't 'low one late night in a train filled with soccer idiots, I mean fans, in Europe to try and stay awake. We grew up with songs like that. There's also a classic children's book: http://www.amazon.com/Mama-Dont-Allow-Thacher-Hurd/dp/0064430782

Any idea who the artist might be?

 

[Josephine]

I have a tape with children's songs on it that has this one. Don't know who the artist is that you linked to though.

 

[The Wolf]

I remember seeing a soundie of that song. The fellow was quite amusing. He did impressions of freight trains and stuff.

I'll see if I still have a copy of and find that performer's name.

Sincerely,
The Wolf
