Lyrics
Ev'ry thing seems lovely
When you start to roam
The birds are singing
The day that you stray
But wait until you
Are further away
Things won't be so lovely
When you're all alone
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home.
chorus:
Mammy Mammy
The sun shines East,
The sun shines West,
But I've just learned
Where the sun shines best
Mammy Mammy My heart strings
Are tangled around Alabamy
I'm a comin' sorry that I made you wait
I'm a comin' hope and pray I'm not too late.
Mammy Mammy
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles
My Mammy.
We all start our travels
Searching for a friend
If you went searching
Down deep in your mind
You know you just left
The best pal behind
After all our travels
Where do we all wend
Back home to our first love
At the journey's end.
