Al Jolson - My Mammy lyrics

Everything is lovely

When you start to roam;

The birds are singin', the day that you stray,

But later, when 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 Alabammy.

I'm comin',

Sorry that I made you wait.

I'm comin',

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...

(SPOKEN) 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 talkin' about, nobody else's!

(SUNG) My little Mammy,

My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.

(SPOKEN) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'--

I'm so sorry that I made you wait!

Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!

Oh God, I hope I'm not late!

Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?

I'm your little baby!

(SUNG) I'd walk a million miles

For one of your smiles,

My Mammy!
