She was just sixteen
And all alone when I came to be
So we grew up together
Our 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 a 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 Just hold on tight
Sing it to me, mama
My, my, my, my, mama
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh mama, let me hear
That old Rock and Roll lullaby 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
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 Just hold on tight
My, my, my, my, mother
Nothin' loose my soul
Like the sound of the good old
Rock and Roll lullaby
