Well she was just sixteen an hour ago

When I first came to be

So we grew up together

My mama child and me

Well the times were bad and she'd get scared

Whenever I would cry

She'd calm my fears and dry my tears

With a rock & roll lullaby



And she'd sing sha la la la la la la la la la

It's gonna be alright

She'd be singing like that

Sha la la la la la

You'd better hold on tight

Sing it to me mama

It's gonna be alright

Sing it sweet and clear

Oh mama let me hear that

Rock and roll lullaby





Well we made it through the lonely days

But Lord the nights were long

We dreamed of brighter moments

When mama sang her song

But I can't recall the words at all

It don't make sense to try

But all I knew is lots of love came through

With that rock and roll lullaby





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

Sha la la la la la la la la la

You'd better hold on tight

I can hear you mama

Sha la la la la la la la la la

It's gonna be alright

Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old

Rock and roll lullaby
