Rock and Roll Lullaby

She was just 16 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 and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be alright

Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, just hold on tight

Sing it to me, mama

(Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be alright) Mama, mama, mama

Sing it sweet and clear (Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)

Oh, mama, let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby

We made it through the lonely days

But, Lord, the nights were long

And we'd dream of better moments

When mama sang her 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 and roll lullaby

And she'd sing

Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be alright

Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, just hold on tight

I can hear you, mama

(Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be alright) Mama, mama, mama

Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby

It'll be alright

Just hold on tight

Mama, mama, mama

Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby

(Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be alright)

(Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, just hold on tight)
