Rock and Roll Lullaby lyrics

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 and roll lullaby

And she would 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

(Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It'll be all right)

My, my, my, my, 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 mornings

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 through

In that 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

I can hear ya, mama

(Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

It'll be all right)

My, my, my, my mama

Nothin' moves my soul

(Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)

Like the sound of the good old

Rock and roll lullaby

It'll be all right...

Just hold on tight...

Ma, ma, ma, ma, mother

Nothin' moves my soul

Like the sound of the good old

Rock and roll lullaby

(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...)
