Mammy Blue

Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue
Oh, mammy blue
Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue
Oh, mammy blue

I may be your forgotten son
Who wandered off at twenty-one
It's sad to find myself at home without you
If I could only hold your hand
And say I'm sorry, yes, I am
I'm sure you'll really understand
Oh, mammy

Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue
Oh, mammy blue
Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue

I left one summer evening
Without saying a word, without kissing you
Without a look back at the past
As soon as I crossed the border
The wind blew stronger than yesterday
When I was near you, my mother

Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue
Oh, mammy blue
