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 fears and dry my tears
With the rock and roll lullaby
And she sing
Sha, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It will be all right
Sha, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama, mama, ma
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh, mama, let me hear that old
Rock and roll lullaby
You made it through the lonely days
But, Lord, the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments
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 lots of love came thru
In that rock and roll lullaby
And she sing
Sha, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It will be all right
Sha, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama, mama, ma
Nothing loose my soul
Like the sound of the good old
Rock and roll lullaby
Just hold on tight
Mama, mama, ma
Nothing loose my soul
Like the sound of the good old
Rock and roll lullaby
