Ken Boothe - Mammie Blue

Oh Mammie, oh Mammie, Mammie blue
Oh Mammie blue
Oh Mammie, oh Mammie, Mammie blue
Oh Mammie blue

I may be your forgotten son
Who wanders off at twenty one
It's sad to find myself at home
And you, you're not around

If I could only hold your hands
And say I'm sorry, yes I am
I'm sure you'll really understand
Oh, man, where are you?

(Oh, Mammie) Oh Mammie (oh Mammie)
Mammie blue (mamy blue)
(Oh Mammie blue) Oh Mammie, Mammie
(Oh Mammie) Oh Mammie (oh Mammie)
Oh Mammie blue (oh, Mammie blue)
Oh Mammie blue (oh, Mammie blue)

Though others shared up on the hill (oh Mammie)
Seems lifeless but it's standing still (oh Mammie)
And memories of my childhood fill my mind
Oh Mammie, Mammie, Mammie

I think you hold your walk so light
Seen tired days and lonely nights
And now without you by my side
I'm lost, oh Mammie, Mammie, Mammie

(Oh Mammie) Oh Mammie (oh Mammie)
Mammie blue (Mammie blue)
Oh Mammie blue (oh Mammie blue)
(Oh Mammie) Oh Mammie, oh Mammie
(Oh Mammie, Mammie blue)
Just can't do without you (oh Mammie blue)
(Oh Mammie) Tired days lonely nights
(Oh Mammie, Mammie blue)
Oh Mammie (oh Mammie blue), with you

I need you Mammie (oh Mammie)
I want you Mammie (oh Mammie, Mammie blue)
Got to have you mama Mammie (oh my blue)
I love you (oh Mammie) can't do without you
I've got to (oh my Mammie blue) come back home, my Mammie
(Oh Mammie) Oh Mammie
You walk with me in the dark (oh my Mammie blue)
Feeling me in the dark (oh Mammie)
Oh Mammie, oh Mammie (oh my Mammie blue)
I'm alone and I wanna come home, yeah, yeah
Oh Mammie, oh Mammie, Mammie blue
Oh Mammie blue..
