Everything is lovely 
When you start to roam; 
The birds are singin', the day that you stray, 
But later, when you are further away, 
Things won't seem so lovely 
When you're all alone; 
Here's what you'll keep saying 
When you're far from home: 

Mammy, 
Mammy, 
The sun shines east, the sun shines west, 
I know where the sun shines best-- 
Mammy, 
My little mammy, 
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. 
I'm comin', 
Sorry that I made you wait. 
I'm comin', 
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh 
Mammy, 
My little Mammy, 
I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles, 
My Mammy! Oh oh oh... 

(SPOKEN) Mammy... 
My little Mammy. 
The sun shines east-- the sun shines west-- 
I know where-- the sun shines best! 
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's! 
(SUNG) My little Mammy, 
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. 
(SPOKEN) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'-- 
I'm so sorry that I made you wait! 
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'! 
Oh God, I hope I'm not late! 
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me? 
I'm your little baby! 
(SUNG) I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles, 
My Mammy!
