MY MAMMY
(Walter Donaldson / Sam M. Lewis / Joe Young)

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!


TO MY MAMMY

Irving Berlin

[Verse:]
Mammy mine, there's a light divine
In your eyes that shines for me
And that light tells me I'm all right
Though the world may not agree
Whatever they say or do
I know how I stand with you

[1st refrain:]
Who cares what the world may say?
No matter what comes my way
I'm everything
To my mammy

And who cares if I lose the race?
No matter who takes my place
I'm still the king
To my mammy

How much does she love me? I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

Who cares if my friends have gone?
You'll find me still holding on
'Cause I can cling
To my mammy

[2nd refrain:]
Who cares if the people shout
I'm nothing to rave about?
I'm everything
To my mammy

And who cares if the future shows
I may be in beggar's clothes?
I'm still the king
To my mammy

The crowd disapproving won't hurt me because
My mammy still loves me and that's my applause

Who cares if they say I'm through?
Someday when my song won't do
I still can sing
To my mammy


MAMMY O' MINE

Pinkard-Tracey

I've read your letter, mammy o' mine
Now I feel better, mammy o' mine
Still I'm kinda homesick too
No one can cure me but you

CHORUS
Mammy o' mine below that old Dixon line
Oh, how I'm longing to kiss you
I miss you
All of the time
I kiss your picture each night
And the letters you write
For they remind me of the day long ago
Oh Lordy how I'd like to be with you when I'm alone
My thoughts go wandering home
Then I start thinking of you
And feeling so blue
I could cry
And now I know why
Daddy used to say the good lord blessed us
When he gave us you 'cause you're the bestes
Angel divine
You wonderful Mammy o' mine

When night is falling, mammy o' mine
I hear you calling, mammy o' mine
Like I did in childhood days
Days I'll remember always

CHORUS


OH MAMMY

Curly Howard

Oh Mammy
It's your little boy Sammy
Comin' home from Alabammy
Put on some eggs and hammy
Don't gimme no flim-flammy, mammy
Oh, mammy
Oh, mammy
[Moe kicks him in the butt]
OH MAMMY!
