Artist/Band: Nana Mouskouri
Lyrics for Song: Danny Come Home (A Town Near Montreal)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri



( Molly-Ann Leikin / Annette Tucker / Arthur Hamilton )



1-

On a sunday morning

In a town near Montreal

A baby in a basket

Cried outside the convent wall

He had the eyes of the widow Johnson

And the station master's chin

And Sister St-Theresa heard him crying

And she took my baby in



2-

When the shame inside me died

Then the mother in me cried

And I go by the playground where I thought he' d be

I' d smile at every little boy, so I could see

If one of them was smiling back at me



3-

Danny come home,your mama' s heart is broken

Danny come home, you' ve been away so long

Don' t you know your mama keeps on hoping

That someday you' ll find out where you belong

Danny come home



4-

On a rainy morning

In a town near Montreal

A lonely boy of seven

Climbed outside the convent wall

The station master helped him

Sneak aboard the ten-o-four and he was gone

And no one's ever heard a word

Or even seen the boy from that day on

5-

And I still cried myself to sleep

About the child I couldn' t keep

And I always pray that life is good to him

It' s a story that will never have an end

'cause what we gave away is never ours again



Repeat 3 twice


Danny Come Home (A Town Near Montreal)

Nana Mouskouri's rendition of 'Danny Come Home' captures the nostalgic charm of a small French town near Montreal, blending her distinctive mezzo-soprano voice with the song's gentle, folk-inspired melody. Originally a French folk song, the recording highlights Mouskouri's ability to convey warmth and storytelling through her signature vocal style, characteristic of her extensive catalogue of traditional and classical repertoire. The track exemplifies her career's focus on preserving and presenting European folk music with elegance and emotional depth, resonating with listeners who appreciate authentic musical narratives from the mid-20th century.
