Lyrics
In the days of the sweet long ago,
In my dreams all the world was a show,
While the lights of the great white way
Kept calling to me night and day,
Then I kissed my old mammy good bye,
As her blessing she gave with a sigh,
Now that angel above hears me say,
chorus:
I want my mammy
Little wonderful mammy,
Just to rock me to sleep,
When the night shadows creep,
I see her only,
In my dreaming so lonely,
Then my cares fade away,
I awake and say,
My loving mammy
If all the wealth of the world were mine, Mammy,
I'd give it all for your love divine,
I want my mammy,
Little old fashioned mammy,
All the golden years through,
I'll be calling for you,
Mammy, I'm longing for you.
All the days of my childhood have flown,
With the friends that I once called my own,
But each night there's a voice that seems
To whisper close in my ear,
And it tells me with love fond and true,
I must never be dreary or blue,
Then I dream my mammy is near,
