Lyrics Sweet Mama Blue - Roy Orbison

I know a place in New Orleans
They call The Castle of Kings and Queens
Where an old sweet black woman sings
And plays piano like a dream
She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you
Sweet mamma blue

Sweet mamma blue will only sing about the truth
And it will get to you
Sweet mamma blue will sing of love as only she can do
Sweet mamma blue
Sweet Mamma Blue

One night I stayed past closing time
"Sweet mamma blue my troubled mind."
She sang the night away for me
She made me see what I couldn't see
That only by loving life will all your dreams come true
Sweet mamma blue

Sweet mamma blue will only sing about the truth
And it will get to you
Sweet mamma blue will sing of love as only she can do
Sweet mamma blue
Sweet mamma blue

They say she's gone from misery
But she still lives in my memory
I still can see her smile and say
"I'll bet you make it all the way."
If you will try the Lord will surely see you through

Sweet mamma blue
The world sure will miss you
And when I feel blue I think of you
Sweet mamma blue
Sweet mamma blue
Sweet mamma blue.
