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 & roll lullaby. And she'd sing sha nana na na na nana It'll be alright. Sha nana na na na na nana Just hold on tight. Sing it to be mama, Na na na na It'll be alright. Sing it sweet and clear, Oh mama let me hear That old rock & roll lullaby. Now we made it through the lonely days, But Lord the nights were long. And we'd dream of better mornings, 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 rock & roll lullaby. When she'd sing sha nana na na na na nana It'll be alright. Sha nana na na na na nana Just hold on tight. I can hear you mama, Ma ma ma my mama
