Songtexte My Mammy - Al Jolson

Everything seems lovely
When you start to roam
The birds are singin', the day that you stray
But wait until you are further away
Things won't be so lovely
When you're all alone
Here's what you'll keep sayin'
When you're far from home

Mammy
Mammy
The sun shines east
The sun shines west
I know where the sun shines best
Mammy
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy

I'm a-comin'
Sorry that I made you wait
I'm a-comin'
Hope and trust that I'm not late
Oh-oh-oh
Mammy
My little mammy
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles
My mammy
Oh-oh-oh

Mammy
My little mammy
The sun shines east
The sun shines west
I know where, I know where the sun shines best
It's on my mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy
Mammy
Mammy I'm comin'
I, I hope I didn't made you wait
Mammy
Mammy I'm comin'
Oh God
I hope I'm not late
Mammy
Look at me
Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles
My ma-mammy
