My Mammy

Everything is 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 seem 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-coming, sorry that I made you wait I'm a-coming 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 the sun shines best It's on my mammy I'm talking about, nobody else My little Mammy My heartstrings are tangled around Alabamy Mammy, mammy, I'm coming Ah, I, I hope I didn't make you wait? Mammy, mammy, I'm coming 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 mam-mammy
