Yes, My Darling Daughter

About Yes, My Darling Daughter

"Yes, My Darling Daughter" is a 1940 song by Jack Lawrence first introduced by Dinah Shore on Eddie Cantor's radio program on October 24, 1940. It was Shore's first solo record, released by Bluebird, and peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard magazine chart. The music used by Lawrence is borrowed a Ukrainian folk-song "Oi ne khody, Hrytsju", which is in turn based on a melody by Catterino Cavos from his vaudeville The Cossack-Poet.
