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 a rock'n'roll lullaby
And she'd sing sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It'll be alright
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la now just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama-mama-mama-mama
Sing it sweet and clear oh mama let me hear
That rock'n'roll lullaby
Now we made it through the lonely days
The northern nights were long and we'd dream
of better mornings
When mama sang the 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 through
In that rock'n’roll lullaby
And she'd sing sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It'll be alright
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la now just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama-mama-mama-mama
Nothing heals my soul like the sound of a good
old
Rock'n'roll lullaby
