Mammy

Everything seems lovely when you start to roam
The birds are singing, 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 saying 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 alabamy

I'm a-comin'
Sorry that I made you wait
I'm a-comin'
Hope and trust that I'm not late, 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 the sun shines best
It's on my mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's
My little mammy

My heartstrings are tangled around alabamy
Mammy, mammy, I'm comin'
I, I, I hope I didn't make you wait
Mammy, mammy, I'm comin'
Oh Lord, I, I hope I'm not late

Mammy, 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 mammy
