Lewis, Young; Music Schwartz; Key of C) "1st verse: Mammy mine, your little rollin stone that rolled away; strolled away; Mammy mine, your rollin stone is rollin home today; there to stay, just to see your smilin face, smile a welcome sign;-- When I'm in your fond embrace, Listen Mammy mine -- Chorus: Rockabye your baby with a dixie melody, when you croon, croon a tune, from the heart of Dixie. Just hang that cradle, Mammy mine, right on that Mason-Dixon Line And swing it from Virginia, to Tennessee with all the love that's in yer. Weep no more my lady, sing that song again for me -- And old Black Joe, just as though, you had me on your knee -- A million baby kisses I'll deliver, the minute that you sing that Swanee River; Rockabye your baby with a dixie melody. 2nd verse: Anytime, I hear a mammy sing her babe to sleep, slumber deep; That's the time -- The shadows round my heart begin to creep, and I weep. Wonder why I went away, What a fool I've been -- Take me back to yesterday, in your arms again:" (repeat the Chorus) -- Wait, wait, you ain't heard nuthin yet!!! |
