My Mammy [The Jazz Singer] Lyrics

Everything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But later, when you are further away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:

Mammy,
Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best
Mammy,
My little mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm comin',
Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin',
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,
My little Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh

Mammy.
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where, the sun shines best!
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'
Oh God, I hope I'm not late
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy

All I Have To Do Is Dream

Everything is lovely 
When you start to roam; 
The birds are singin', the day that you stray, 
But later, when you are further away, 
Things won't seem so lovely 
When you're all alone; 
Here's what you'll keep saying 
When you're far from home:

Mammy, 
Mammy, 
The sun shines east, the sun shines west, 
I know where the sun shines best
Mammy, 
My little mammy, 
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. 
I'm comin', 
Sorry that I made you wait. 
I'm comin', 
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh 
Mammy, 
My little Mammy, 
I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles, 
My Mammy! Oh oh oh

Mammy.
My little Mammy. 
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where, the sun shines best! 
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's! 
My little Mammy, 
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. 
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin' 
I'm so sorry that I made you wait! 
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin' 
Oh God, I hope I'm not late
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me? 
I'm your little baby 
I'd walk a million miles 
For one of your smiles, 
My Mammy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
