Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She was just sixteen and all alone
When I came to be
So we grew up together
My mama child and me
[Verse 2]
Now things were bad
And she was scared
But whenever I would cry
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
With that rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing
[Verse 3]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
It will be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Let's just hold on tight
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Now 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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
It will be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Let's just hold on tight
[Verse 8]
I can hear ya, mama
My, my, my, my mama
Nothin' moves my soul
Like the sound of the good old rock and roll lullaby
[Verse 9]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
It will be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Let's just hold on tight
[Verse 10]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
My, my, my, my mama
Nothin' heals my soul
Like the sound of the good old rock and roll lullaby
[Verse 11]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
It will be all right
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Let's just hold on tight
[Verse 12]
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
My, my, my, my mama
Nothin' heals my soul
Like the sound of the good old rock and roll lullaby
