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 that rock'n'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 Let's just hold on tight Sing it to me mama My my my my mama Sing it sweet and clear Sing it sweet and clear Oh, mama let me hear That old rock'n'roll lullaby Now 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'll be all right Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Now just hold on tight I can hear ya, mama My, my, my, my mama Nothin' moves my soul Like the sound of the good old Rock and roll lullaby
