|
She was just sixteen |
|
And all alone when I came to be |
|
So we grew up together |
|
Our mama-child and me |
|
Now things were bad and she was scared |
|
But whenever I would cry |
|
She'd calm my fear and dry my tears |
|
With a rock and roll lullaby |
|
And she'd sing |
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na |
|
It'll be all right |
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na |
|
Just hold on tight |
|
Sing it to me, mama |
|
My, my, my, my, mama |
|
Sing it sweet and clear |
|
Oh mama, let me hear |
|
That old rock and roll lullaby |
|
[Instrumental Interlude] |
|
We made it through the lonely days |
|
But, Lord, the nights were long |
|
And we'd dream of better mornin's |
|
When mama sang a song |
|
Now I can't recall the words at all |
|
It don't make sense to try |
|
'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through |
|
In that rock and roll lullaby |
|
And she'd sing |
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na |
|
It'll be all right |
|
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na |
|
Just hold on tight |
|
I can hear ya, mama |
|
My, my, my, my mama |
|
Nothin' moves my soul |
|
Like the sound of the good old |
|
Rock and roll lullaby |
