> [@Q.Q.Switcheroo](#): > > I heard “_Rozhinkes mit Mandlen_” (raisins and almonds), though it doesn’t sound like any version of [the Yiddish lullaby with that title](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raisins_and_Almonds) I know. Well, the redditor has decided that it _ **is** _ the raisins and almonds song. They asked on the yiddish subredit as @Ellecram suggested, and was given this link … > **[Rozhinkes mit Mandlen - Beth's Notes](https://www.bethsnotesplus.com/2020/02/rozhinkes-mit-mandlen.html)** > > Rozhinkes mit Mandlen Although the tune is nothing like the one in the original link as @Q.Q.Switcheroo says, the lyrics appear to match, and the redditor is satisfied it’s the right song. So…over and out ! Thanks for all the input ! ---

Glad it was resolved successfully. My mother used to sing old songs to me when I was young. Years later there were times I would come across songs with similar lyrics but totally different tunes.
