lotte lenya - song of a german mother lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my son, i gave you the jackboots
and the brown shirt came from me
but had i known what i now know
i’d have hanged myself
i’d have hanged myself from a tree

[verse 2]
and when i saw your arm, son
raised high in the hitler salute
i did not know all those arms, son
would wither, would wither
would wither at the root

[bridge]
and then, then i saw you march off, son
following in hitler’s train
and i did not know all those marchers
would never, would never
would never come back again

[verse 3]
i saw you wear your brown shirt
and did not complain or entreat
for i did not know what i now know
it was your winding sheet
