Everything seems lovely when you start to roam
The birds are singing the day that you stray
But wait until you are farther away
Things won't be so lovely when you're all alone
Here's what you'll be 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 a coming why I'm sorry that I made you wait
I'm a coming why I hope and trust that I'm not late
Oh mammy
My little mammy
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles
My mammy
Mammy my little mammy
The sun shines east the sun shines west I know
It's on my mind I'm talking about
My little mammy
My heartstrings are tangled around alabami
Mammy mammy I'm coming
Oh I hope I didn't make you wait
Mammy mammy I'm coming
Oh lord I hope I'm not late
Mammy mammy look at me
Don't you know me I'm your little baby
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smile
My man and me
