Summary
"The tears of old folks/parents." "Parents care for a child and dry his tears, until he is grown and leaves home. Then lonely parents wait for letters, and their tears go unnoticed. When parents have troubles from children, there is no comfort in the whole world." Source: Heskes, Irene, Yiddish American Popular Songs, 1895-1950. (General)
