(Streets of) Hamburg

I dedicate this song, on this Mother’s Day, to my dear mom, who passed away almost three years ago.  This song reminds me, for some personal reason, of her and the city of Hamburg - both I miss very much.  I am still able to visit Hamburg any time but I cannot see Mom again any more.  Ralph McTell's Streets Of London, 1974:
