Hello! I have a really old song for you today. This was released in 1926 by Whispering Jack Smith. Now I know you are all wondering what made me choose this song, my grandmother Iris.
Nanna passed away on the 5th of January, she had been really sick with heart failure so it was a relief that she isn't suffering anymore. Growing up she was always singing this song to us, we had her funeral yesterday and I found out she use to sing it to her daughters as well.
Now I am not sure that this is the version that she sang as hers was a lot faster but that might just have been her adaptation of it. For approx the first 30 seconds he talks about a baby before he actually starts to sing the song.
Nanna, this is for you! We love you heaps and really miss you. XXXX
