She was just sixteen and
All alone when I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama-child and me
Now things were bad and she was
Scared but whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fear and dry my tears with
A rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
It'll be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama
My, my, my, my mama
Sing it sweet and clear, oh mama let me hear
That old rock and roll lullaby
(Instrumental)
We made it through the lonely days but, Lord
The nights were long
And we'd dream of better mornin's when
Mama sang a song
Now I can't recall the words at all, it don't
Make sense to try
'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na it will be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na just hold on tight
I can hear ya mama, my, my, my, my mama
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of
The good old
Rock and roll lullaby -
