Songtexte My Mammy (Brunswick 3912) [Recorded 1928] - Al Jolson

Everything is lovely when you start to roam
The birds are singin', the day that you stray
But wait until you are farther away
Things won't seem so lovely when you're far from home
Here's what you'll keep saying when you're all alone

Mammy, Mammy
The sun shines east, the sun shines west
But I know where the sun shines best
Mammy, Mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabamy
I, I'm comin', sorry that I made you wait
I, I'm comin', I hope and trust that I'm not late
Mammy, I'm talking about my Mammy
I'd walk a, a million miles for one of your smiles
My Mammy, oh-oh-oh

Mammy, my-, my little Mammy
The sun shines east and the sun shines west
But I know where the sun shines best
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's
My little Mammy
My heartstrings that are tangled around Alabamy
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'
Oh, I hope I didn't make you wait?
Mammy, I'm comin'
Oh, God, I hope I'm not late?

Mammy, oh-oh-oh, don't you know me?
It's your little baby
I'd walk a million miles for a one of your smiles
My Ma-Mammy
