There are songs that make me happy
There are songs that make me sad
But the songs that mean
the most to me
Are about the best friend I ever had
God bless her

Give me a good ole Mammy song
One that I can sing down on my knee
Give me a good ole Mammy song
With an old fashioned melody
One that says I’ve been away
and I’ve been blue
One that says I’m coming
home to Y-O-U
Give me a good ole Mammy song
And Mammy I’ll sing about you

I’ve got to hear a Mammy song
One that makes you cry a happy tear
Give me a good ole Mammy song
One that gets you, way down here
Just to see her smile again
would fill me with joy
Mammy, Mammy, don’t you know me
I’m your little boy
Give me a good ole Mammy song
And Mammy I’ll sing about you

You know folks
It’s been an awful long time
since I’ve heard a good
ole Mammy song
And I’m getting kinda lonesome
for the good old days
When it was no shame,
to get down on your knees
And sing a song for the best friend you ever had
You’re Mother

Just to see her smile again would fill me with joy
Oh Mammy, Mammy, don’t you
know me, I’m your little boy
Give me a good ole Mammy song
And Mammy you’ll know what I’ll do
Oh Mammy, I’ll sing about you
