My Mammy

Everything seems lovely when you start to roam

The birds are singin', 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 comin', sorry that I made you wait

I'm comin', hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh

Mammy, my little Mammy

I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles

My Mammy, oh oh

Mammy, my little Mammy

The sun shines east, the sun shines west

I know where, 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 Alabammy

Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'

I, I hope I didn't make you wait

Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'

Oh God I, 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
