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
I know where the sun shines best
Mammy
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy

I'm coming
Sorry that I made you wait
I'm 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's
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy

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, 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!
