She was just 16 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 a rock and roll lullaby
And she'd sing shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na
It'll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
Sing it to me mama, mama mama mama (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Sing it sweet and clear (sweet and clear)
Oh, mama let me hear that old rock and roll lullaby
♪
Now, we made it through the lonely days, but Lord the nights were long
And we'd dream of better moments, when mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
It don't make sense to try
'Cause I just knew lots of love came through that ol' rock and roll lullaby
When she'd sing shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na
It'll be all right
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na na, just hold on tight
I can hear you mama, mama mama mama (shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Nothing moves my soul like the sound of a good old rock and roll lullaby
♪
Shanana-na-na-na-na-na-na, it'll be all right
