I was here my darling When I began to roam I realised, that I wasn't wise in leaving my home sweet home. It's the same old story, In spite of the joys I've known. For this is the wish of a lonely rolling stone. Give me my Mammy no-one else will do. The roses are red, the violets are blue The sugar is sweet but not as sweet as you My mammy I'm coming home to you and swinging down the hill You'll hear me whistle like a whippoorwill I know that you'll be there to meet me You'll be there to greet me by the old log cabin door. Smother me with kisses, lots of baby kisses like you did in days of yore. I'm coming Mammy, mammy, mammy, mammy, listen to your honey lamby, coming on his way Mammy, Mammy, give me my Mammy AH Mammy my Mammy no-one else will do. The roses are red, the violets are blue Sugar is sweet Mammy, but it ain't sweet Mammy like you Mammy you heard what I said and I'll say it again and again and again It's my Mammy I'm talking about and Mammy wh wh when I'm coming down the hill, you'll know me I'll whistle like a whippoorwill. Oh Mammy, meet me, greet me, by the old log cabin door I want kisses, a whole lots of little baby kisses You know the kind I had in days of yore I'm coming Mammy, Mammy I'm coming , I'm coming on my way Mammy, Mammy give me my Mammy.
