Sylvia's Mother


This song is a favorite of both my husband Chaz and I, as well as every person we've shown it to. I'd like to dedicate it to Margaret who requested I cover it. Enjoy :D 

It's bittersweet and is actually an autobiographical song written by Shel Silverstein who drew upon his own experience with a failed relationship he tried to rekindle with one last unsuccessful phone call to his ex-love's mother.

This was Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show's first number one hit off of their 1972 self-titled album.
