With that rock 'n' roll lullaby
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It don't make sense to try
And she'd sing, "Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright now"
Sing it to me mama, oh, my mama dear, oh yeah
Sing it sweet and clear
Sing it sweet and clear
You'd better hold on tight
It's gonna be alright"
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
But all I knew is lots of love came through
When mama sang her song
Well, we made it through the lonely days
So we grew up together
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
She'd sing, "Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
We dreamed of brighter moments
But I can't recall the words at all
Rock 'n' roll lullaby
But Lord, the nights were long
Well, the times were bad and she'd get scared
You'd better hold on tight
Oh, my mama, it's gonna be alright
When I first came to be
My mama, child and me
Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old
Well, she was just sixteen an hour ago
Whenever I would cry
Oh, mama let me hear that
With a rock 'n' roll lullaby
I can hear you mama
She'd be singing like that sha, la, la, la, la, la
