Everything is 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 seem so lovely
when you're far from home.
Here's what you'll keep saying’
when you're all alone:
Mammy, mammy,
the sun shines east, the sun shines west
but I know where the sun shines best.
Mammy, mammy,
my heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I am a-comin', sorry I made you wait.
I am a-comin', I hope and pray that I'm not late.
Mammy, I’m talkin’ about my mammy.
I'd walk a million miles
for one of your smiles.
My ma, mammy! Oh, oh, oh.
(Spoken) Mammy,
my, my little mammy.
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
but I know where the sun shines best!
It's on my mammy!
I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
My little mammy.
(Sung) My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(Spoken) Mammy, mammy, I'm comin',
oh, I hope I didn’t make you wait!
Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Mammy! Oh, oh, oh, don't you know me?
It’s your little baby!
(Sung) I'd walk a million miles
for one of your smiles.
My ma, mammy!
