The Nylons Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby lyrics

Rock 'n' roll lullaby
Rock 'n' roll lullaby

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 'n' roll lullaby

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, oh, my mama dear, oh yeah
Sing it sweet and clear
Oh, mama let me hear that
Rock 'n' 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 'n' 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
Oh, my mama, it's gonna be alright
Nothing soothes my soul like the sound of a good old
Rock 'n' roll lullaby

Sing it sweet and clear
Oh, will it be the rock 'n' roll lullaby?
