No longer do I love the city life
I'm headin' straight for home
No longer will I spend sleepless nights
'Cause I'm comin', Mammy, never more to roam
If I could hold you in my arms again
I'll never ask for more
'Cause, Mammy, can't you hear me
I'm knockin' at the cabin door
Dancin', prancin' and eatin' fried chicken
Singin', swingin', and raisin' the dickens
With a banjo strummin' all the while
Tell me, Mammy, ain't I your honey chile'?
I know you're waiting for me night and day
But you won't have to wait no more
'Cause, Mammy, can't you hear me
I'm knockin' at the cabin door
Now I'm dancin', prancin' and eatin' fried chicken
Singin', swingin', and raisin' the dickens
With a banjo strummin' all the while
Tell me, Mammy, ain't I your honey chile'?
I know you're waiting for me night and day
But you won't have to wait no more
'Cause, Mammy, can't you hear me
I'm knockin' at the cabin door
