Rock And Roll Lullaby
(Billy Joe Thomas)
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 -
