Testo My 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,
But 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.
Mammy, my little mammy.
The sun shines east
The sun shines west
I know where, I know where the sun shines best.
It's only my mammy I'm talking about.
Nobody else's.
My little mammy.
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabamy.
Mammy, mammy I'm coming!
Oh I hope I didn't make you wait!
Mammy, mammy I'm coming!
Oh Lord, 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 mammy!
