Al Jolson - My Mammy

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!
