Rock and Roll Lullaby

She was just sixteen

And all alone when I came to be

So we grew up together

Our mama-child and me

Now things were bad and she was scared

But whenever I would cry

She'd calm my fear and dry my tears

With a rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It'll be all right

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Just hold on tight

Sing it to me, mama

My, my, my, my, mama

Sing it sweet and clear

Oh mama, let me hear

That old rock and roll lullaby

[Instrumental Interlude]

We made it through the lonely days

But, Lord, the nights were long

And we'd dream of better mornin's

When mama sang a song

Now I can't recall the words at all

It don't make sense to try

'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through

In that rock and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It'll be all right

Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

Just hold on tight

I can hear ya, mama

My, my, my, my mama

Nothin' moves my soul

Like the sound of the good old

Rock and roll lullaby
