My Mammy - Original - Al Jolson

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!
