Lyrics My Mammy - Original - Al Jolson

My Mammy - Original

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!
